The Kiwanis Santa House has provided a holiday shop to local families since 2006. Originally sponsored by Arvada Wheat Ridge Service Ambassadors for Youth (AWRSAY), our Club has been the lead group in organizing this event and took over management of the project in 2022. Monetary donations from community members and organizations and donations of new toys support this effort. Selected Arvada elementary schools reach out to their families in need to participate in this free holiday shop.
Many community organizations partner with us to support this worthwhile project including Apex Parks & Recreation District, Arvada Sunrise Rotary, Lake Arbor Purpose Driven Optimist, Arvada Chamber of Commerce, Jefferson County Library Foundation, Intermountain Health – Lutheran Medical Center, faith communities, local businesses, community groups, business leaders, and individuals. Free holiday gifts have been provided to over 12,300 families and 34,000 children over the years. In 2024, the program will be held at the Altitude Church at 6550 Wadsworth Blvd, Arvada.
Arvada Jefferson Kiwanis Foundation is thankful for the many generous friends, partners, and donors who volunteer, contribute toys, and provide monetary donations to support the Santa House.
