Fox 13's The PLACE and Les Schwab are teaming up for Candy Cane Corner, a holiday gift program for the families served by The Road Home and Volunteers of America, Utah and First Step House.
On November 17, 2022 we invite you to join us at Les Schwab in South Jordan and Ogden for a donation blitz. Come take a selfie with Santa, enjoy a treat, and donate to Candy Cane Corner.
Last year, through the generosity of the community, Candy Cane Corner provided holiday gifts to more than 2,000 Utahns in need.
We're hoping to grow the program to serve even more.
Rachel Anderson, with The Road Home, joined us to tell us more about the private nonprofit.
She says they assist individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness along the Wasatch Front.
They work to move them off the cold streets and into warm housing.
You can help through Candy Cane Corner.
Visit any Les Schwab across the state between November 1, 2022 and November 28, 2022 to make a donation.
