Every year, WRSI teams up with Big Brothers Big Sisters agencies up and down the Valley to help provide holiday gifts to over 200 local kids from families in need. The River Cares for Kids is coming back for another season! Could you be a “secret Santa” for a lucky kid (or two) this year?

Head to our gift list right here and pick a kid (or kids) to give a gift to!

Once you have what you’re getting, follow the simple instructions on our site and bring the unwrapped, labeled present to one of our drop-off locations by Monday, December 15th:

We’ll work with our agencies to gather up the gifts and get them where they need to go by the time the December holidays start up. And there’s more: one lucky gifter will be chosen to win a free pair of tickets to the Kimaya Diggs & Friends Holiday Show at the Iron Horse in Northampton on Friday, December 19th. Just our way of saying “thank you” for making the holidays a little brighter for local families.
