Santa needs our help to give Hope for the Holidays

Every year an anonymous Secret Santa donates tens of thousands of dollars worth of toys to children in need, but the need is greater than ever this year.

Winter coats and pajamas in all sizes, hair tools and products, head phones, balls and other sports equipment are on the wish list.

See the wish list and drop off locations. You can find out more about volunteer opportunities for you, your family or your business. You can even make a monetary donation and let Santa’s helpers do the shopping HERE: ‘Hope for the Holidays 2023 (PDF)

Last year, Hope for the Holidays served over 1,200 children in over 400 families and inspired $20,199 in additional giving aside from the Secret Santa’s $50,000 donation. With so many more families in our community struggling Santa would love to surpass the goal of helping 1,500 children this year.

One gift. One child…. Our community coming together to bring Hope for the Holidays.

100% of your donations benefit the Lighthouse Children’s Advocacy Center
