The Mall at Rockingham Park Hosts Caring Santa

The mall hosted two magical visits with Caring Santa this holiday season for children with special needs

The Mall at Rockingham Park hosted two visits from Caring Santa this holiday season on Sunday, November 20th and Sunday, December 4th to spread holiday cheer and create family memories. Caring Santa is dedicated to providing families a subdued and welcoming environment for children with special needs to visit with Santa. Many steps are taken to reduce sensory triggers, creating a more comforting environment for the children’s visit.
