Mission: Mrs. Claus for a Cause is a non-profit that is committed to supporting youth and special needs individuals by gifting toys and warm clothing items around Christmas time. Our efforts stem from a deep sense of compassion and a desire to make a positive impact in the lives of those who need it the most.
Results: In 2019 this event was started in the founder's driveway. Since the event has started it has grown each year. Last year we helped 2500 people and this year we are hoping to help 3000 people. What started out as giving out a few gifts has turned into a huge 3 day event. We have roughly 30 different Disney characters, a DJ, free photos with Santa, free haircuts for kids, free food, cookie decorating, face painting, balloon artists, dancing, bounce houses and more. Everything at the event is completely free. Friday and Saturday is for everyone. Sunday is for families with special needs only.

Direct beneficiaries per year: 2500
Geographic areas served: Montrose, CO and surrounding areas
Programs: A free three day event where families get free toys, food, warm clothes, and fun. One day is for special needs only.
