⚠️Attention⚠️ Friends, it is that time of year again! It's hard to believe! Please be guided by the information below.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Last year, we tested out a new sign-up system and it worked beautifully. This year, we will be using the same system. A problem we had was that a few people came in, scanned the QR code, and left and filled out the form online at home.

We encourage you to fill out the form online on your phone or mobile device, but we need you to do that here in the building so that we can verify your information and get you your time slot. If you come in and scan the QR code, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE. ALSO, DO NOT SEND QR CODE OR PICTURES OF THE CODE TO OTHERS. ANYONE MUST BE PRESENT IN THE BUILDING.

Once you fill out the form on your phone, you will need to wait for your name to be called so that your sign-up can be completed. IF YOU LEAVE, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE PROGRAM. We will not chase you down. We are trying to serve as many families as possible, and our time will be devoted to those who have completed the process. (We will make exceptions for emergencies. Please make us aware.)

When you come to sign up, if you choose to meet with one of us in person and sign up that way, that is also perfectly fine. There will be staff and volunteers available to help with any questions you might have. We want this process to be as easy as possible.

Please know the sizes for your children, and please also know their 3 wish list items.
(This information is not optional; this information is needed to complete the form.)

We unfortunately don’t have the time needed to wait while you make phone calls to other guardians. We want to get you signed up so you can go about your day, and we can tend to another family. It is not fair for those who came prepared to wait on you. PLEASE BE CURTEOUS AND CONSIDERATE & COME PREPARED

We understand times are hard right now, but please do not attempt to sign up with more than one agency. We aim to serve as many families as possible, and when someone signs up through multiple agencies, it takes away from another family in need.

If you are caught signing up with another agency for toys, you will be taken off the list and will be ineligible for toys this year.
If you are caught after receiving the toys, then you will be unable to sign up with us next year. We hope you can understand.

Blessings to all!! 😊
