Cookies & Cocoa with Santa
Be One of Santa's Helpers! Volunteers Needed for Cookies & Cocoa with Santa 🎅🏾
Hello Friends,
iCU Community is bringing the magic of the season to Elgin, and we need your help to make it unforgettable!
Cookies & Cocoa with Santa
📅 Saturday, December 5, 2026
⏰ 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM (volunteer shifts include setup and teardown)
📍 The Centre of Elgin, Arts & Crafts Studio
100 Symphony Way, Elgin, IL
The little ones will meet our joyful Black Santa, enjoy cookies and warm cocoa, and get creative at our holiday craft table. Families will show up in Christmas sweaters, matching PJs, holiday dresses, and Santa hats, ready to laugh, create, connect, and make new memories together. For many children, seeing a Santa who looks like them is a moment they'll carry for years. We'd love for you to help create it.
