Blue Santa started in 1972. This year, we're celebrating our 50th anniversary, and that's really exciting for us, that we're here for 50 years, and we have more families than we've ever served this year that we're going to serve. So it's going to be an exciting year for us. We will probably on Saturday we have about 5200 families that we will be serving, and we need people from all areas of the city to come and help us deliver, which is north substation.
Yes, we're having people volunteer at the warehouse now, and that's important because we're making the boxes and then the others will start on the at the warehouse, then on delivery day, they can come as early as 7:00 or even earlier. Help us get all the boxes ready to go out to the different areas. So those are all the important things that we need on that day to make it beautiful. The day should be great. I think the weather, it's going to be good. It's going to be cool.
