Pathways Health Centre for Children's Secret Santa Shoppe kicks off this Friday, November 13.
The heartwarming event is open to children in the community.
"We get just over 1,000 little shoppers in our Secret Santa shop, which is absolutely lovely. Of course, we're always striving to get more shoppers in and spend some time with us, and be able to provide holiday delights for the families," said Event Lead Marcy Draker. "We have open doors and open hearts for families in Sarnia-Lambton."
The event offers a wide selection of brand new pre-wrapped gifts that children can choose from. Each shopper is guided by a friendly Pathways Elf through the festivities to select their present.
"This is our biggest fundraiser at Pathways Health Centre for Children, so it's just so very important, and we're so very grateful that the community feels the way that they do about it. The money that is raised through our Pathways Secret Santa shop supports programs and services at Pathways Health Center for Children, so we can best help children and youth reach their full potential."
This year's event marks 21 years of Pathways creating the festive holiday shoppe.
Families are welcome to register ahead of the event or to walk in. It runs November 13, 14,15, 20, and 21.
A special "Shoppe with the Sarnia Sting Night" will be held on November 17 and does require registration.
Registration for all days is open on the Pathway's website.
