DSAW is spreading holiday cheer differently this year! DSAW invites local families to participate in DSAW's Holiday Drive Thru! On Saturday, December 12th, bring your family to DSAW Headquarters to pick up a special holiday gift bag and activities to-go!

Please Note: This event is for families who have children or loved ones with Down syndrome or related disabilities.

On Saturday, December 12th, attendees will drive up to the east parking lot (by the church entrance) and follow the signs for socially-distant holiday fun and to pick up holiday gift bags. We will have take-home hot chocolate kits, holiday cookies, and crafts for all ages.

If you'd like to participate, please fill out the registration form to let us know you are coming and to request your special gift bags from DSAW. Please sign up by December 5th to ensure your family receives gift bags.
Attendees must remain in their vehicles the entire time. Masks are required for all attendees, excluding children under 2 years old per the CDC. Please read DSAW’s COVID-19 Precautions below before attending this event.

Time:
10 AM - 12 PM (“Open House” come any time between 10 AM- 12 PM).

Gift Bag Information:
DSAW is doing gifts differently this year in light of the pandemic. Instead of each child receiving a gift from Santa, we will be handing out special gift bags by age range. Gift bags will be placed in your trunk by volunteers. Contact-free!
Who gets gift bags?
Siblings 13 and under and all attendees with Down syndrome will receive a special gift bag from DSAW.

PLEASE READ COVID-19 Precautions:
DSAW cares greatly about the health and safety of our staff, families, and the self-advocates who attend our in-person events. All staff and volunteers will be wearing masks and gloves. Out of consideration for DSAW staff, volunteers, and other people at the event, everyone attending the DSAW Holiday Drive-Thru is required to wear a face mask and remain in their vehicle. This requirement applies to the driver and all passengers excluding children under 2 years old (CDC Mask Guidelines). The nature of this event requires some face-to-face interaction between guests and staff/volunteers making masks necessary. DSAW Staff will have masks and sanitizers for you to use if you do not have access to your own. Thank you!
