Dream Home Charities Representative, Sherry Gilleland, stated, “We are in awe of this awesome surprise. It came at the perfect time as well. In addition to filling the semis this year with toys for charities, we are also helping less fortunate families have a great Christmas. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Together we CAN and we WILL make a difference!”

"Fill Santa's Semis" is just one of the many things Dream Home Charities does to put smiles on the faces of those who need help. Last year, “Fill Santa's Semis" donations were distributed to 25 local charitable organizations.
