You Can Be An Elf Too (costume not required!)
Project Elf Provides Quality of Life Items & Gifts
Items are wrapped by Santa's Elves!
Many have already joined The Dane Foundation's Project Elf Corps, but many are still needed! You can adopt an individual or an entire family. You will receive a Christmas wish list to use for shopping. You do the shopping, provide the unwrapped items to The Dane Foundation. Our in-house elves will coordinate, wrap, and distribute the gifts! Don't want to shop...cash donations are accepted and we will do the shopping!
To be an ELF in 2020, email us today to be put on the list!
