It was Christmas at ReStore on Friday evening with free gifts, free wrapping, and Santa.
Many children were there to choose from a slew of gifts donated to ReStore. Many "elves" helped wrap the presents. Santa heard wishes from the kids.  Cookies and punch were available.

Many youngsters (and adults, too) left with smiles on their faces. Christmas will be happier this year thanks to the givers and staff at ReStore.
