Editor:

On behalf of the Guernsey County Secret Santa Program, we want to thank the community for their generous support. With your donations, it was possible to serve over 600 families here in Guernsey County this season. We also provided gifts to 350 residents in our local nursing homes.

We would like to thank the Rogovin family, who donates the former Harper-Hutchinson building for our use each year. This is the place we call the Secret Santa Headquarters and our home base. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

Thank you to all the volunteers who came to help wrap gifts, sort toys or do whatever was needed.

We also want to send a special "Thank You" to all our local firefighters and fire departments for the services and assistance they provide: from volunteering for the Secret Santa boot drives to collect donations to assisting on Christmas Eve delivering the presents. Without their assistance, Secret Santa would not be possible.

In closing, we know that it is YOU, our supporters, who make the Guernsey County Secret Santa Program work. When the need is there, this community always steps up to meet that need.

May God bless each of you and the services you provide to our community. We are truly blessed.

Secret Santa
