Aided by Santa and a corps of volunteers, event chairperson Carrie Lu Sue guided the successful annual event. Police officers from South Pasadena and El Monte Police Departments volunteered their services.

Students from nearby schools were also involved as volunteers. Gifts were donated by generous benefactors as well by the church organization. The giveaway started at 8 a.m., but families were lined up by the hundreds well before daybreak.
