Kelowna Santas is back and ready to spread some cheer for another holiday season! Kelowna Santas is a grassroots, volunteer initiative that strives to provide a better Christmas for less fortunate children that live in the areas of Lake Country, Kelowna and West Kelowna. Our participating Drop Locations will be collecting new, unwrapped toys until December 16th at 4pm, which will be delivered to families in need on December 19th.
