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. We still have a few kids left on our lists who could use a little extra cheer this holiday season... Could you be a “secret Santa” for a lucky kid (or two)? There’s still time!

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 Wednesday, December 17th. Do you have a late-arriving gift? Not sure if it will make it in time? We’re accepting late drop-offs here at the WRSI studios at 15 Hampton Avenue until Friday, December 19th.

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.
