About the Event

A heartwarming event that brings the magic of the holidays to underserved children in the Colorado Springs community. Families enjoy dinner, activities, and a visit with presents from Santa and Mrs. Claus.

Santa is looking for Secret Shoppers!

Sign up to be one of Santa’s secret shoppers and purchase the needs or wants of a Fostering Futures child for our 2024 Winter Wonderland.

There is no limit on how many secret shopper slots you sign up for; however, we ask that for each slot the gifts total no more than $50.

The last day to sign up to be a Santa’s secret shopper is Friday, November 22nd.

All unwrapped gifts must be in JLCS’s hands no later than Monday, December 2nd. Unwrapped gifts should be labeled with the child’s name, age and gender as it appears in the sign-up slot. Additional communication for physical drop-off opportunities will be communicated via email to registered secret shoppers.

Shopping online? Please send gifts purchased online to: JLCS, Attn: Winter Wonderland, PO Box 1361, Colorado Springs, CO 80903
