Host a Toy Drive

Are you a member in a mom’s group, HOA, church small group, or company who wants to give back to the community? Alongside your kids or coworkers, host a toy drive this summer to collect toys for our clients in need. Set up at a local park, pool, neighborhood or business to accept toys, shoes, hygiene and clothing items.

Become a Sponsor for a Child

Besides helping at the North Pole, our Dear Santa program needs members in the community who will fulfill Christmas wish lists for our clients. Bring holiday joy to children with the greatest needs and the least amount of resources by buying the items they want the most! To receive a wish list and fulfillment instructions, click the interest form below. NOTE*** Wish lists are not given to community members until October 2025.

Volunteer for Dear Santa

In December, all of the Christmas in July toys will be sorted for the Center’s caseworkers to shop for their clients at our Dear Santa North Pole location. If you are interested in helping at our North Pole the first two weeks of December, click the link below.
