Santa’s Helpers in Action: Inside the Woodworker’s Club
Every holiday season, residents across The Villages come together to share their talents and spread joy. One special group, the Woodworker’s Club, turns simple pieces of wood into magical gifts for children in need. Watch the video and read on to discover how these dedicated volunteers make a difference and how you can join in the spirit of giving.
Coming Together to Give Joy
The Woodworker’s Club is a community of Villagers with big hearts. Each year, members handcraft and paint thousands of toys, from cars to toolboxes, for local children. They create toys year-round for organizations that support kids. With over 30 toy designs, these volunteers transform raw lumber into treasures that bring smiles and joy.
