Mrs. Claus For a Cause in Montrose Colorado

Mrs. Claus for a cause started four years ago by Leah Cole. If you meet Leah you can feel her enthusiasm as soon as you talk to her.

It all started when Leah Cole was behind a dad and his kids at City Market four years ago. All he had was peanut butter and bread. She heard him say he just lost his wife and job. That's all they would have for Christmas. She bought them some groceries and went to her car where she always keeps toys and coloring books. She wanted them to have something for Christmas. That was the start of her journey as Mrs. Claus For a Cause.
