Today, the Hopkinton Community Partnership hosted their annual Elf Scavenger Hunt on the Town Common, inviting children of all ages to find the “Elf on the Shelf” at local businesses around town.

The money raised goes to support Hopkinton families who need assistance during the holiday season. Each participating child received a goodie bag and a map showing the location of the elves downtown. Sunnyside Gardens, Hop-Yo, 110 Grill, Alltown Fresh, and several other businesses participated in the event, with all offering raffles and prizes to visitors.

“You see the magic of Christmas in the children who run up to get a map,” said Hopkinton Community Partnership Founder and President Heather Smith.

The Hopkinton Community Partnership is a registered nonprofit whose mission is to improve the diverse needs of the Hopkinton Community, it’s individuals, and families through grant opportunities and funding.
