Operation Santa 2024

Operation Santa

Santa’s elves have started planning for this year’s Operation Santa! We need your help spreading the magic of Christmas.

This year, FamiliesFirst Network along with our community partners and faith community will help 2,000 local children who have experienced trauma, abuse or neglect. As one of Operation Santa’s helpers, you can make Christmas special for children in our local community. Without the generosity of donors like you, most of these children in our care would not receive any gifts during the holidays.
Here are two ways you can help:

  1. Sponsor a child and SHOP for their Christmas wishes. Complete this form to tell us you are interested and provide your information. Our team will provide you with a holiday wish list, which will include a child’s three wishes for Christmas gifts with special requests or instructions. Please use this wish list to show that child someone is thinking specifically about them on Christmas morning. We encourage donors to please spend about $125 per child. Santa’s elves will contact you to provide the workshop location most convenient for you for dropping off gifts. To get started sponsoring a child, fill out this form.
  2. Give a monetary donation, and we will shop for you!
    FamiliesFirst Network is a nonprofit 501(c)(3). Donations are tax deductible.

For questions about your wish list or Operation Santa, please contact Ellen Massey at [email protected] or 970-948-9660 (text or call).
