A record number of teens in Jordan School District, who would otherwise go with little this holiday season, received an early Christmas at the annual Jordan Education Foundation “Christmas for Kids” event.
Students partnered with volunteer chaperones who took them shopping for everything from toys and games to the basics like clothes, shoes, bedding, and food. Each student was able to purchase $150 worth of gifts at Walmart in South Jordan. Chaperones helped the students find the items on their shopping list while creating a positive and supportive environment for the teens.
Santa Claus was there to spread holiday cheer along with local firefighters, police, and city leaders. The Jordan Education Foundation funds the “Christmas for Kids” event through contributions from generous donors and local businesses in the community.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s “Christmas for Kids“ a success. Hundreds of students will have a brighter and merrier holiday season thanks to our community’s generous donors and volunteers.
