*WHILE SUPPLIES LAST
Jordan Smelski died from Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis on July 2, 2014 at the age of 11. Jordan loved Christmas and sports. So, we put them together! Jordan wanted all children to receive gifts for Christmas. We honor Jordan by giving back to our community, through his store! All items will be given away for FREE to families and children in need (while supplies last). Children MUST be present.
If you would like to volunteer to help, we will be working at the store on 12/7 and 12/9 – 12/13. Volunteer activities include:
- Arts & crafts - Making snowflakes/ paper ornaments, making Christmas decorations, wrapping boxes to go under the Christmas trees.
- Bikes - Cleaning bikes, filling tires, attaching training wheels.
- Theater – decorating the room and stage for Santa and Mrs. Clause.
- Gym – put up Christmas trees, decorations, place bikes and sporting goods.
