A Santa-Sized Operation: Inside the Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership’s Holiday HQ

 

It’s like a line from a holiday tale for children – Santa’s sack magically expands to hold thousands of gifts each year! That’s exactly what happens at the Center for Volunteer & Nonprofit Leadership during their annual Secret Santa program. Host Michelle Marques talks with Lauren Oblad, Event Coordinator at CVNL, about the logistics and love it takes to fulfill 13,000 gift requests each holiday season. Learn about the elves, the toys, the generosity of the public, and the often simple wishes for basic comforts that come in each year.
