People Helping People sees record increase in Fulfill-A-Wish Program in Solvang
SANTA YNEZ VALLEY, Calif. - Santa Ynez Valley People Helping People (PHP) is sharing holiday cheer for its annual Fulfill-A-Wish program in Solvang.
The program will benefit families in the Santa Ynez and Los Alamos valleys at the historic Veterans Memorial Hall in Solvang.
The Fulfill-A-Wish Program assisted 130 families.
Organizers say this is the highest number of families in need the nonprofit has ever seen.
Dozens of volunteers donated 200 hours to transform the hall into a fully operational boutique.
The community pulled together to donate gift cards for teens and basic-needs household items for families.
PHP is the only official organization in the Santa Ynez Valley designated by the Marine Corps reserve to distribute Toys 4 Tots donations.
