The VC elves were hard at work last night as they took over our local Target store to purchase holiday gifts for families through Operation HELP, a program in the St. Croix Valley area that helps families in need. This year Valley Companies is sponsoring five families in our community, with a total of 19 children, and we’re helping to bring some extra cheer to their holiday this season! Our elves worked through lists of items each child needs and a few items they want, and they did their best to make it happen! Great work, Elves! And a special thank you to our “elves in training,” Sophia and Ethan, that came to assist and provide first-hand knowledge of what children in the community would love. You’re the best!
