A trip to the mall to sit on Santa’s knee is a special event for families, but the holiday hustle and bustle can be overwhelming for kids with autism and other special needs. That’s why a group of volunteers is pleased to offer Quiet Santa.  

This controlled, low-stimulus event offers children and their families an opportunity to visit with Santa in a quiet setting, away from the mall, lights and loud noises. 2016 marks our fifth-annual event!  Like we did in 2015, we will be holding the event over two days during December to better accommodate schedules.

We rely solely on donations and volunteers to make this event possible.  There is no charge to the families attending.  Donations helps us supply each attending child with a small gift from Santa, a keepsake photo opportunity, and provide a quiet area for waiting families.  Additional expenses include supplies, costumes, snacks and materials.
