ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – Santa’s Workshop is coming to Ithaca.

On December 18, the Greater Ithaca Activities Center (GIAC) is hosting Santa’s Workshop.

In addition to gift wrapping, the volunteer event will feature a community stocking stuffer/gift exchange, festive games, sweet treats, and free “Nice List” certificates. Organizers encourage attendees to bring their kids, as the gift wrapping will be held in a separate area. Capable attendees are asked to bring a toy that their child has outgrown or a stocking stuffer.

Provided

An RSVP is required here for “Nice List” certificates and to ensure an accurate number of snacks and wrapping paper.

You can also sign up to sponsor a family in need through the Holiday Angel program. Additionally, anyone who may need help this holiday season can sign up here.

Santa’s Workshop is made possible by Joshua Coicou & Family, with a special thank you to the team at GIAC and Wegmans.

The event takes place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, December 18, in the GIAC Rec Center at 321 West Court Street in Ithaca.
