Kris Kringle Conveys Kids to K-Mart Civil Servants for Santa Give Children a Shopping Spree By Robert Jensen December 18, 2011
Civil Servants for Santa, along with many others in the community, donated time and money to create a special day for the 100 children who each received a $100 K-Mart gift card. They were then bussed by the Palo Verde Transit Service from the Joe Wine Recreation Center to K-Mart where they could use their cards to empty the toy shelves. They had a little extra help from our own Blythe K-Mart as they kicked in an additional $10.00 value to each of the gift cards so that each child had $110 to spend to his/her heart’s content. A parade of fire, ambulance, law enforcement and border patrol vehicles escorted the kids in three Transit busses for their shopping spree. Upon return, the exhausted kids were treated to a personal visit with Santa as well as refreshments and games at the Recreation Center.
