What is Santa's Shack?
Santa’s Shack is a holiday pop-up shop created inside domestic violence
shelters, where children get to choose and wrap gifts for their moms. It’s a joyful, empowering experience that helps families reconnect through love and celebration.
Volunteers help set up the shop, assist kids with gift selection and wrapping, and ensure every woman—whether she has children or not—receives a meaningful gift. Santa’s Shack brings warmth, dignity, and holiday magic to survivors during a season that can otherwise feel isolated.
