The following is a press release from the Citizens for Safe Schools.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - The holiday season is a time for giving. In the spirit of spreading warmth and joy, Citizens for Safe Schools is proud to present ‘Citizens Santa,’ a heartwarming annual community initiative.

‘Citizens Santa’ aims to brighten the holiday season for ‘At-Promise’ mentored youth by connecting caring members of our community with the opportunity to fulfill a special holiday wish and foster a little good cheer in the hearts of our young people.

How Citizens Santa Works:

  1. Sponsor a Child: Anyone can participate by selecting a child from our curated list of wishes! This list can be found at partnering business Everybody’s Vintage located at 733 Main Street, or you can visit the Citizens For Safe Schools Facebook page at facebook.com/citizensforsafeschools to select a child in need.

  2. Gift Collection and Drop-Off: Once you've chosen a child to sponsor, we encourage you to purchase and wrap your gift, then drop-off under the tree at Everybody’s Vintage before December 18th.

Citizens Santa is not just a gift-giving campaign; it's an opportunity to bring our community together and make a positive impact in the lives of local children.

By sharing the joy of the season, we can ensure that every child in our community feels the love and warmth that this time of year represents.
