Mary Rigg’s Holiday Assistance program, Mary’s Magical Mission, spreads holiday joy to more than 300 families in West Indianapolis each year.

Families register in advance, and on Dec. 14 they visit the center to shop for toys, winter wear, books, and other holiday gifts for their children. Each family also receives a food tote containing ingredients and a gift card to make a holiday meal.

At the heart of this effort is Team Santa—a group of generous donors and dedicated volunteers who bring the magic to life. Whether through in-kind or monetary donations, or by volunteering before or on event day, Team Santa makes the magic happen.
