For over 10 years, Care & Share has participated in the annual Souderton Holiday Parade. This parade is held on the first Saturday of December. For the first time, Care & Share was a parade community sponsor.
We are typically in the middle of the parade line-up, but this year, we were near the end…closer to Santa! The Souderton Area High School’s Interact Club represented Care & Share, handing out over 2,500 Beanie Babies, with a free book coupon attached, to children along the parade route.
Joining us this year was a “Reindeer” that rode in a white jeep waving to parade attendees. On the jeep was a sign promoting our reindeer visit the following Friday.
The excitement for this event is always at a fever-pitch! The just over a mile route quickly flies by and we are enjoying a cup of hot cocoa and commenting to each other how much fun the parade is!
Thinking ahead to next year, you could help us out with two things:
- We will have a special float in the parade to celebrate 50 Years of Care & Sharing! We need a flat-bed trailer and a vehicle to pull it for our float. Kindly reach out to us if you can assist.
- We always need Beanie Babies to hand out at this event. Kindly share our need with your friends.
