What a magical and fun morning at TLC's Breakfast with Santa at the Senior Center hosted by the amazing Swampscott Recreation. The building was filled with full bellies, lots of crafts, laughter, and cheer! We loved our balloon decor from Happy Joy Balloons. The children entered the building with such excitement when they saw our balloon frosty and holiday decor by Santa. 💚We loved every moment we got to observe when Santa Bob brought smiles and excitement to so many little faces. Thank you to all the volunteers who made today possible! A big shout out to our awesome middle school NJHS members and highschoolers who came out to run the craft stations and help us set up/clean up.

TLC has been blown away by our amazing supportive community.

We will continue to update our wish list to support our families and local organizations in town seeking TLC’s support this holiday season.

Thank you to all the community members who have already ordered to help us make this holiday season special for someone.

All TLC wish list of gifts we need BY DECEMBER 12th. All gifts should be shipped directly to the Swampscott Middle School (207 Forest Ave.), Attention: Jaclyn Wilson - TLC

Each gift provided, students at the highschool who get involved in TLC help us wrap these presents for our community and local organizations, and also get the opportunity to wrap specific gifts for a local daycare for families who benefit greatly from our support. Our students wrap requested gifts that the children hope to get from “Santa.” We then bring our TLC elves and our very own Santa to deliver those gifts.
