The group is running several events next week, the first one being the annual Kids Gift Shop at Riverview Crossing.

This event gives underprivileged kids between the ages of 2-16 the chance to pick out and wrap a gift for the adults in their life at no cost.

“Every year my kids ask, ‘Mom, what about you?’ and I just can’t do it,” said one of the participating parents.

“This is really special that the kids get to do this. I almost cried.”

Candora estimates more than 300 families will register for the event on Dec. 5.
