ABOUT PROJECT ELF:
​​​
For those unfamiliar, PROJECT ELF is a community wide effort that works to provide holiday gifts to those children within the Dripping Springs School District to help make their holiday more magical!
How does a business, organization or school get involved?
As a community, we look to our partners to join us in this project to provide children gifts by committing to taking a small holiday tree – adorned with “mittens." The number of hats provided is strictly up to the individual business/organization. These mittens have specific gift requests by our clients.
When can I expect to get my tree?
A Helping Hands volunteer will drop off your tree with your assigned mittens between in early November.
What if the mittens don’t get taken?
We will be checking in with each area business who is participating. However, feel free to contact the our coordinators at any time (information below) if you have questions or concerns.
How and When do the gifts get back to Helping Hands?
Each organization will deliver their collected gifts to the North Pole (Helping Hands) during thei assigned window of time. Please contact us if you need us to pick gifts up.
Do gifts need to be wrapped?
YES – Please! Each gift should be labeled with the coordinating hat information to be able to help our elves distinguish each gift.​​​​
