The United Way of Utah County Sub for Santa needs 25 more volunteer sponsors. Sub for Santa sponsors provide Christmas presents for children of low-income families.
Jolene Jacobson, Sub for Santa coordinator, said, "We are grateful for the many groups and individuals who are already sponsoring families, but there are more kids who still need our help."Sub for Santa sponsors are asked to provide two new clothing items and two new toys for each child in the family. Sponsors do not have to provide food, Christmas trees, decorations or other gifts for the family, but may do so if they would like.
So far, approximately 400 less-fortunate families have been matched with volunteer sponsors.
To be a sponsor, call the Sub for Santa line at 375-2999 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. After hours, individuals can call and leave a message with Sub for Santa's answering service.
