Donations
During the parade, the Girl Scouts will collect donations of paper supplies and personal hygiene items for Safe Harbor of Sheboygan County and Bridgeway. Please bring a small item to help families in need this holiday season.
Letters for Santa
The U.S. Postal Service will walk in the parade to collect letters for Santa. Make sure each letter includes the sender’s name and address so Santa can reply.
