As \u201cSanta\u201d for a refugee family of six from the Democratic Republic of the Congo with children aged 3 months through 7 years, we selected, purchased, and wrapped presents of toys and clothes for each family member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to a lovely bag of gifts, the mom received gift cards to TOPS, an assortment of fancy teas, and a lovely hand-crocheted bead necklace. We hope this family had as much joy opening the gifts as we had assembling them! Several women donated their purchases, which enabled WTB to include a Target gift certificate so the family could buy needed winter coats and gear.<br><br>Thank you to each of you who made this project a success \u2013 and so much fun!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expressing our heart of welcome to new arrivals in our community, we played &#8220;Santa&#8221; and bought gifts for a refugee family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9898,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-9878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-programs","tag-new-americans-2",""],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9878"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9878\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9907,"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9878\/revisions\/9907"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wtb.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
