Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to ensure children have what they need to thrive – each Santa Bag includes warm clothing, shoes, school essentials, toys, food, and gift certificates. 

We also provide scholarships, support for milestone events and help fund the local high schools’ Letters to Santa clubs. We encourage students to give back, with many returning as volunteers after receiving support themselves. 

We are building a foundation of giving through our student volunteers at both the Gala and the Santa Workshop - learning to make a difference by giving their time and energy to their community.

Our program is unique in that teachers, school staff and administrators personally identify the children most in need, ensuring that our support makes a necessary and meaningful impact.
