What is Santa Comes to Poland?
Santa Comes to Poland is a non-profit organization that brings gifts to the childrem of Poland on Christmas Eve. We also deliver fruit baskets to Poland seniors and those who cannot leave their residence. We also bring stockings to each child at each location along with hats and mittens regardless of their financial situation.
On Christmas Eve we journey to four area stores. If you would like Santa to hand your child a gift on Christmas Eve you must: Leave the wrapped item at the store you will visit on Christmas Eve no later than December 23rd. Be sure the gift is labeled clearly with your child's first and last name.

HOW CAN I HELP?
We are always in need of help. To raise money for gifts to give the children we have fundraising events; any help is appreciated.
We accept monetary cash donations, unwrapped gift items, or your time.
If you knit, we could always use hats and mittens in various sizes for children ages 12 and under.
We would love to hear from anyone that would like to sponsor a child for Christmas.

Tree Lighting Information
Date: Saturday, December 4, 2010
Time: 6:30 pm
Location: Poland Town Hall
Each season the Poland Recreation Department hosts a tree lighting at the Poland Town Hall. We start the evening with Christmas Carols out on the front steps in hopes Santa will hear us and come light our tree with his magical ways. After our tree is lit, we invite Santa and Mrs. Claus in for a visit with local children and cookies & hot cocoa.
