In mid-November, you will be sent a wish list for your family with suggested gifts. You can immediately begin planning a happy holiday for this family. Your group’s responsibilities include purchasing gifts and delivering the unwrapped gifts to the Minnetonka Community Education Center (formerly the Deephaven Education Center), on Wednesday, December 9 from 12pm-6pm or Thursday, December 10 from 8am-1pm. Gifts will be delivered to families by MCE staff. As we navigate these unprecedented times, there will be changes to the gift drop-off process, in order to keep you safe.
