Will you be one of our Helping Hands this holiday?

Seton Center assists approximately 150 eligible families each year to celebrate the holidays with dignity and joy.  But we can't do this without your help!

GIVE TODAY

Would you like to donate toys for Christmas?

This year, we're trying something new with our toy donations. We've asked families requesting gift assistance for Christmas to provide a wishlist for each child with their top 3 toy choices. Our hope is to provide at least one toy from their wishlist to each child.

 

To avoid too many of one toy and not enough of another, we ask you to sign up to provide specific toys. Please deliver all new & unwrapped toys to our office 11/27-12/7. Distribution will occur on 12/11. Gift cards for teenagers ($50 increments for Walmart or Target) are also tremendously appreciated! 


Letters to Santa

Children (of all ages) are encouraged to write Santa Claus a letter. We will make sure it gets to the North Pole! And if a name and address is included in the letter, Santa will write back! Deadline for letters is Dec 15.
