Grand Island Campus, Holdrege Center and Lexington Center Santa for Central

"Santa for Central” is an ongoing service project supported by our campus clubs, organizations and campus community each year. It is a generous effort to provide support for students who are having difficulty affording Christmas gifts for their minor (18 and under) children. Our hope is to generate a list of requests for assistance from CCC-Grand Island, Lexington and Holdrege students. Students may only apply for each child one time. If more than one CCC student applies for the same child or children, duplicate requests will not be honored to ensure all of our CCC community needs can be met. For each child, they should include age, gender, a gift suggestion or list of favorites that can then be matched with the donor’s price range.

All submissions will be sent to Kazia Marquez and will remain confidential. We will create a star arrangement with gift requests that students and staff can select from and then purchase by a set deadline. Stars will include the age, gender and gift ideas information.

Gifts will be ready for local pick up or campus delivery by December 12th. Students will be notified if their gifts are ready prior to this date. Local gift pickup and campus delivery will continue through the following week of December 15th-19th.

Requests are being accepted from November 3rd through midnight on December 1st.

2025 submissions are now OPEN.

The deadline to return purchased items is Monday, December 8th.
