ACK FM in the Morning

On-Air with Doug - Heather Woodbury & Lisa Wisentaner - Sneaky Santa

Nantucket Radio 97.7 ACK FM - True Island Radio

Doug sits down with Heather Woodbury of Wicked Island Bakery and Lisa Wisentaner of Nantucket Cycling and Fitness, the founders of Sneaky Santa, a heartfelt island tradition launched in 2020. Together, they share how this community-powered project partners with the Nantucket Hotel, local businesses, and generous donors to give a deserving family an unforgettable Christmas, complete with a two night stay, meals, gifts, and a beautifully decorated suite. Heather and Lisa also explain how Safe Place selects the recipient family each year and how they extend giving even further through their holiday trees filled with wish tags for Safe Place clients. They talk about the emotional moments of shopping from wish lists, the evolution of donations flowing through the NantucketGivingFund Venmo, and how community members can contribute by donating financially or choosing a wish tag to fulfill. This inspiring conversation shines a light on what can happen when a community comes together to lift up those who need it most and how listeners can join in by supporting Sneaky Santa this holiday season.
