Meet our all volunteer Team

Board Members and special guest

Everyone who contributes to the Cache County Christmas Car Project is part of our fantastic team.  However, we do want to take a minute and highlight some of the key players.

 

The Hansens

Meet Jason and Kristie Hansen

Jason Hansen is the driving force behind the Cache County Christmas Car Project. As a skilled mechanic, he uses his expertise to make a difference, all while serving his community as a member of Cache County Search and Rescue and the Hyrum City Fire Department.

Kristie Hansen helps bring Jason’s big ideas to life, turning his vision into reality. She balances her time between working at Utah State University and serving in the United States Army Reserves, all while playing a key role in the project’s success.

Married for 21 years, Jason and Kristie have three kids and share a love for National Parks, grilling and smoking delicious food, and tackling exciting adventures together. Both proudly serve as board members, dedicating their time and passion to making a lasting impact.

The Mortensens

Meet Ty and Kandice Mortinsen

Ty and Kandice Mortinsen have been dedicated supporters of the Cache County Christmas Car Project since 2021. Ty serves alongside Jason on Cache County Search and Rescue and also happens to be great friends with Santa, making the holiday season extra special!

Kandice is a pro at helping Santa get ready at a moment’s notice, any time of year. She is currently pursuing her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree at Weber State University while also showcasing her incredible talent as a photographer—many of the amazing photos on this site are thanks to her!

Together, Ty and Kandice have three children and are deeply committed to serving their community. Both proudly serve as board members, using their time and talents to support our mission.

Santa Claus

Santa serves as our dedicated Delivery Coordinator, ensuring that Christmas Cars make it to their new homes with a touch of holiday magic. While he stays incredibly busy during the holiday season, he never hesitates to drop what he’s doing to help deliver a vehicle to someone in need.

But Santa’s magic isn’t just for December—his spirit of giving shines all year long, bringing joy and hope to families whenever the need arises. We’re so grateful for his kindness and dedication to making a difference, one car at a time!
