The Northside Neighborhood House is seeking donations for their annual “Santa’s Workshop” toy distribution. Those interested in donating can contact the organization’s Chief Stability Officer Meghan Creecy at mcreecy@nnhouse.org.
The Northside Neighborhood House Santa’s Workshop has been serving families living north of the river for over 20 years. Each year, families all across Northern Hamilton County get to shop Santa’s Workshop for toys, books and coats for their children. The NNH also provides food assistance for families to enjoy over the holidays.
What is unique about NNH’s program is that it serves children ages birth through 18 years old. Also, parents and guardians are actually able to “shop” for toys for their children and pick out items best fit for them.
“This is a special time for us at the Northside Neighborhood House,” said Ms. Creecy, “We are truly empowering families when they are feeling vulnerable. Everyone wants to be able to provide for their children, and this is our opportunity to take one burden off of families in need.”
New, unwrapped toys can be donated to the NNH Main Agency at 211 Minor St. in Chattanooga. The organization is also seeking businesses, churches and community groups who would be willing to host a toy drive for Santa’s Workshop. Interested parties can contact Ms. Creecy at the email provided to set up a collection.
