Overview
Mission
From the organization's website (citysanta.org): what did you dream of owning, as a kid? A bike, video games, maybe an ipad? Those gifts are wishful thinking for kids living in shelters. Their dreams are more practical; warm clothing, coats, socks, and shoes. And often their wishes are not for themselves, but for their family, as in, "santa, my mommy needs a coat." since 2001, city santa has delivered these basic necessities, as well as books and toys, to families in crisis at the holidays and throughout the year. We've given a hand up to women and children living in domestic violence shelters, families in homeless shelters and a shelter devoted to adults with disabilities. We've also brightened the holidays for children of military veterans struggling after serving in the war, as well children in boys & girls clubs.
