Our Story

A Simple act of kindness that changed our community.

The Village Elves began in 1997 when a group of neighbors in the Village of Milford came together to help a local family have a memoriable Christmas morning.

How It All Began

In 1997, neighbors in the Village of Milford came together to help a local family provide Christmas gifts for their children. With help from retired Milford Police Officer Rick Sharp, the first family was identified and a lasting tradition began.

Over time, The Village Elves grew into a community effort supporting local families and students in many ways.
