Christmas is almost here and we’re running out of time.
There are many gifts still unpurchased on our Santa’s Helpers list, and each one represents a child in the Zachary community waiting for Christmas morning.
If you’ve been looking for a way to help local families this Christmas, this is it:

🎁 Purchase a gift from our Amazon Wishlist or drop off a new toy at the Zachary Police Department
🎁 Donate gift wrapping essentials like paper, tape and gift tags
🎄 Join our gift-wrapping party on 12/21/25 and help us prepare for Christmas morning.

Together, we can make this Christmas magical — but we need your help now.
Thank you for loving our Zachary families so well. ❤️

✨Santa’s Helpers Comfort & Joy Clothing Drive✨
Many of the children on the Santa’s Helpers list are in need of clothing—everything from shoes and pajamas to warm winter outfits and school uniforms. Because availability varies so much by size and brand, we were not able to include clothing on our online wishlist.

👔🩳We are asking for like-new and new clothing items to meet these needs 🧦👕 (socks and underwear must be new) So if you’re cleaning out closets or out shopping and feel moved to help, please consider gathering an outfit, pajamas, socks, or shoes for a Zachary child in need. Items may be dropped off at the Zachary Police Department located at 5160 Old Slaughter Rd. Zachary, LA 70791.
Every item helps us ensure local children feel warm, confident, and cared for this holiday season.
Thank you for always showing up for our community. ❤️
