Madison School District #321

Christmas is just around the corner & there's ONE MORE WEEK LEFT to donate to Madison Cares Secret Santa! Thanks to your generous donations, we can help families in our community who are in need this holiday season. This year, we're asking for cash or gift card donations so families can shop for their unique needs & interests. Clothing donations are also gladly accepted. Look out for Madison Cares Giving Trees around town. We ask that all donations be brought to the Madison Cares Office [60 W. Main St. Rexburg] before or on December 2nd to give our families adequate time to prepare for Christmas. You can simply drop off your donations, or let us know at this link what you're bringing: Donation Form. Madison Cares thanks you for AMAZING support! Let's spread the joy and make this season magical!

Our annual Madison Cares Secret Santa event still needs Secret Santa Shoppers!! We are currently short 27 families!!! For Christmas, our school district tries to satisfy the needs of as many families as we can, through the generous donations from our community members. We specifically offer this to families who will not have a Christmas otherwise, giving gift cards to help with needs and a couple toys for the kids. If you feel so inspired, sign up with this link or QR code to be a Secret Santa and spread the joy of giving this Christmas season! https://forms.gle/cd5pPtPwL1fW3bHF8 You can also shop for specific items for individuals through our Giving Trees. If all you can do is share this post or talk about our program with others, we would be so grateful! You may feel like your contribution is small, but it makes a world of a difference to these families. ❤ Happy Holidays to all!
