The Elf Louise Christmas Project is back to the full hustle and bustle this year.
“We had to take a step back for two years because of COVID, but we didn’t change the basics,” said Bill Harrison, executive director of the nonprofit. “The children still got presents.”The cavernous warehouse at Port San Antonio is filled with toys and volunteers wrapping presents. The group reservations for gift-wrapping sessions are filled, but individual families are welcome to show up to help.
Elf Louise needs some willing toy delivery people to put on the red Santa suit. This year, instead of using the plush suits that have to be cleaned, the volunteers can keep their “disposable” suits. This is the 54th time Elf Louise will make the rounds. In the first year, back in 1969, Louise and her family managed to find and deliver gifts to 13 families. This year, they will provide toys to more than 5,100 families.“I feel I can make kids happy all around the world and make sure they feel loved like others,” she said.
