Overview

Mission

Santa's kids inc, a not for profit organization, formed in the state of Pennsylvania, staffed entirely by volunteers, was formed and created to bring joyful christmas memories to the underprivileged children and elderly residents of the eastern suburbs of western Pennsylvania by providing toys, clothes, food and any other needed gifts that they could otherwise not afford. The main goal is to keep christmas alive in the hearts and minds of those same underprivileged children and the elderly. The organization works directly with various other groups in the eastern suburbs including but not limited to the pitcairn community center, the rankin community center, crossroads church in monroeville, pa and the hulton arbors community center. These various organizations help determine the recipients of the gifts.
