WILTON – There are now more than 900 children hoping for a Merry Christmas this year! Operation Santa has had two very successful days of parents coming to “shop” for their children’s gifts. If you have applied for the program, keep an eye out for a message from the elves letting you know when to come and pick out your gifts.
Calzolaio Pasta Co. and End of the Rainbow Alternatives have joined Work First, The Chuck Wagon Restaurant and Calico Patch as sites this year for two percent Tuesdays. Every Tuesday until Christmas you can spend at these local businesses, and two percent of the proceeds will be donated to Operation Santa Claus. These events are a great way to support local businesses and Op Santa, just by shopping like you normally would. If your business is interested, please contact dflannery@wmca.org

Calico Patch
End of the Rainbow Health Alternatives
