Pack Santa’s Sleigh: We invite all participants and attendees to bring new, unwrapped toys to Deck the HallZ. These toys will be collected and donated to Zebulon-based nonprofit Share Thrift Boutique. Children in need identified by Share will receive these gifts making their holidays a little brighter and warmer.
