Our Programs

Christmas in July

Launched in 2023!

Working with our local elementary school partners, we will be donating $500 worth of school supplies based on a need list from each school.

Here Comes Santa

Working with our local elementary school partners, we provide specific gifts, certificates towards holiday meal and a Christmas tree for in need families.

Community Connections

Our community is full of people who want to help. We work with our community partners to determine the best way for them to contribute based on the needs of the families.

About Us

Our Team

Operation Santa, Inc. is a 100% all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) organization.

Our team of regular and part-time volunteers is committed to helping the underprivileged children of Lake County.

Our History

Seeing a need in our community to provide more support to our underprivileged children, we formed this organization in 2020.

At the time, we supported six seriously struggling families in Hidden Valley Lake with gifts for each child, and a gift of groceries toward their holiday meal.

Our Gratitude

Grateful for this amazing community and our local merchants, individuals and families! We have expanded our efforts, and now support 6 schools in South Lake County.

Our 2026 Here Comes Santa program, provided 700 personalized gifts to 107 children in 30 families across our 6 supported elementary schools.

Groceries toward their holiday meal and a live Christmas tree were also included.
