Drive in and help out this holiday season

This holiday season, people that drive in to Driver’s Village will be able to help out youth and families throughout the community.

As a Hillside Special Santas Community Partner, Driver’s Village will display hundreds of Hillside Special Santas gift tags-each one describing a specific child’s wish-this year in the center of the inside shoppes. Visitors to Driver’s Village are asked to take a tag home after their visit, and purchase a corresponding gift. New, unwrapped gifts should be returned by December 13 to Driver’s Village.

This is the first year that Driver's Village is a Hillside Special Santas Community Partner, and Hillside Special Santas Director Sally Bohne says their participation is “truly a gift.”

“Driver's Village shows true dedication to youth and families by the simple act of making Hillside Special Santas gift tags available to the many people that visit their location," says Bohne.

Donations to Hillside Special Santas dropped off at Driver’s Village will benefit more than 5,900 youth from 4,000 families served by Hillside Family of Agencies, including hundreds of youth and families from Syracuse and the surrounding communities.
