Last year, together we brought holiday joy to 45 of the 122 teens we served.
This year, we hope to support 50+ teens and are raising $6,000 to make it possible.
Every year, Santiam Teen Center works with our community to make sure the teens who walk through our doors feel seen, valued, and celebrated during the holiday season.
Last year, together we provided holiday support for 45 teens. This year, we are preparing for 50+ teens and raising $6000 to make it happen.
The teens supported through this program are active participants in STC programming throughout the year. Because we know these teens personally, we’re able to create a holiday experience that reflects their interest, personalists, and individual needs.
This year’s program includes:
- Personalized gifts inspired by teen surveys
- Holiday stockings filled with fun surprises
- A Needs Pot to help provide essential items
- A community Wrap Day to prepare gifts for distribution
A Tradition That Keeps Growing
Sponsor A Teen has been our tradition for years. While the heart of the program remains the same—helping the teens who call STC a second home feel seen, valued, and celebrated—we continue to learn, adapt, and improve the experience each year. As our programs grows and the needs of teens change, so does our commitment to creating a meaningful holiday experience for every youth we serve.
This year looks a little different than years past, and we’re excited to continue growing this tradition alongside the teens and the community that makes it possible.
Make the Holidays Brighter at Our Wrap Day!
Volunteer alongside us to wrap gifts and assemble stockings for local teens. The event is tentatively planned for December 7th from 4 to 6 PM.
Please note: We may complete our wrapping and stocking-stuffing projects before 6:00 PM, so the event may end early depending on volunteer turnout.
Why It Matters
A holiday gift is more than what’s inside the package.
It is a reminder that . . .
They Matter
They Are Seen
They Belong to a Community That Believes in Them
Together, we can make sure more than 50 young people experience that feeling this holiday season.
Every contribution, whether financial, in-kind, or volunteer time, helps us create a meaningful holiday experience for the teens we serve.
