Pathways Health Centre for Children is taking one of its biggest fundraisers online.
Executive Director Alison Morrison said the pandemic has forced them to reimagine their Secret Santa Shoppe for 2020.
"With COVID-19 we couldn't find a way to have all of our children visiting our centre to place those special orders for Christmas shopping," said Morrison. "So we've taken the event online."
Morrison said families can make gift requests online at pathwayscentre.org until November 27.
She said the elves will do the shopping and then families will be invited to a special curbside pick-up event at 1240 Murphy Rd. on December 11.
"We're hoping that families will come in their cars to Pathways Health Centre for Children where we will have an event set up that's still going to be special for kids. Christmas trees and music and our dancing elves that will deliver those packages right to your car window."
Pick-up hours are 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. but further times will be scheduled if needed.
The Secret Santa Shoppe raised $43,000 last year.
