Each year, beginning well before Thanksgiving, many donors and volunteers come together at the Carver Community Center to make many dozens of food baskets (including turkeys) available to the community, and to make each year’s Holiday Party for the community’s children the best ever!
Carver’s annual Holiday Party happens this Friday, December 13th, for hundreds of community children. Volunteers gathering and wraping toys include the Rowayton Fire Department; St. Luke’s School; Campbell Snacks, Person to Person, and the Children's Connection at the Human Services Council. The staff of the Community Fund of Darien and the New Canaan Community Foundation will be decorating the Carver Community Center, and the 11th Grade class of St. Luke’s School will host the Holiday Party with music, games, face painting, delightful holiday refreshments, and even a magical Santa visiting from the North Pole to receive each of our children!
