Santa Cares is specifically designed to accommodate the unique needs of people on the spectrum, creating a comfortable and inclusive environment for them to enjoy the magic of Christmas. During Santa Cares events, the usual hustle and bustle of a typical mall Santa visit is transformed into a calm and soothing experience, aiming to minimize sensory overload and provide a safe space for everyone. The Cherry Hill Santa staff and volunteers are trained to understand the needs of individuals on the autism spectrum, ensuring that each child or adult receives the support and attention they deserve.
