The Christian Village in Lincoln will host a
special Santa's Workshop shopping day for children from 8 a.m. to

Santa's Workshop is open for children ages 4-11 to shop for moms,
dads, grandparents and other family members.

Each child may purchase up to five gifts, priced at just $1 each,
with free wrapping service. Christian Village staff members will
be available to help children select gifts, and Mrs. Claus will
serve cookies to the hungry shoppers.
"Kids have limited resources, but they still want to give a gift
to their parents, grandparents, teachers, etc. We want to provide a
way for them to learn that there is great joy in giving
gifts, not just getting them," said Julie King, residential services
director.
For more information about the children's shopping event, call
Marcia Cook at 217-732-2189.
