Grantmaking Snapshot: Christmas House

November 21, 2019

The Parkersburg Chamber of Commerce now has a temporary residence available for Santa when he is visiting from the North Pole thanks to a 2018 grant from the Butler County Community Foundation. The house is located in downtown Parkersburg and keeps Santa and kids visiting warm and dry in adverse weather. The house has boosted attendance to Christmas celebrations and gives access, along with a free professional photo, to all who want to see Santa.
