Comments from Shoppers:
We met up at Target and spent about an hour looking around and trying to choose just the right gifts for her girls. I had a great time and would love to help out again next year. This is an amazing program and I will get the word out to more people so others can support families during the Christmas season.
Everything went well and she was able to get some things the children needed. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist with such a worthwhile cause and make for a Very Merry Christmas for the children. I look forward to providing my assistance again next year.
I did not know what to expect but it turned out to be good. I think she got nice gifts for her grandchildren and she seemed to be happy.
We have just returned from our Elf Project shopping adventure. She was very nice and very appreciative. We met at Walmart and got Santa things for her children. We will be thinking about her and her boys on Christmas morning. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of their Christmas.
Susie said she just wanted to get them some small things so they'll have a happy Christmas, nothing real fancy or expensive and talked about how grateful she was for this help. I understand how she feels, truly, and I just wanted to thank you for giving me a small role in helping you help people
I met with my parent yesterday afternoon and had such a good time meeting her and picking out toys for her son. I feel so blessed that I was able to help her and her son this holiday season.
Thank you for allowing me to volunteer this year. It was a wonderful and humbling experience!
