Our founding member, Angela Murguia, has actively participated in Project Santa, Adopt a Family, and Christmas Wishlist's through various programs in Salinas for the past 16 years. In 2018, our member, Johnny Gomez, reached out and requested jackets and warm clothing to support a local shelter. That same year, Our Circle, composed of family and friends, united and organized our inaugural 'Breakfast with Santa' at the Salinas Warming Shelter. During the event, each child received a toy from Santa, adults were given hygiene blessing bags, and families enjoyed a full breakfast meal. It was at this moment that each of us recognized the collective passion within us to spread the Christmas spirit as a powerful force.

Every year, our dedicated Elves continue to bring joy to children, unhoused adults, and families during the Christmas season.
