Annual Events
The NoMa Community Center provides the following annual events at no cost to participants. We do, however, encourage donations from those who are able to give, so that we can continue to offer our programming at no cost.
Santa's Workshop - Where children can "shop" from a large assortment of donated gifts for the adults in their lives. Parents and caregivers are treated to brunch while their little ones pick out gifts and have them wrapped by volunteer elves.
This is one of our most popular events, with 2024's Santa's Workshop welcoming 194 people, 2023's Santa's Workshop seeing attendance of 270 people, and 120 attendees in 2022, not including volunteers.
