With the help of MANY Elves, Santa delivers a beautiful Christmas to families who have had catastrophic events occur during the year. This could
be a child or parent with cancer, the death of a parent or sibling, the loss of a home due to fire - CATASTROPHIC. Santa brings these families a sense of hope, love and strength as he brings in the Christmas spirit for a little bit of time, with that little bit of relief from reality. Santa always ensures that it is a surprise to the receiving families and works with their relatives to keep the magical secret.
Recommendations for local families come in via social media and word of mouth between Halloween and shortly before Thanksgiving. Then, every Thanksgiving morning Santa puts out a call for people to donate presents (through a Facebook post and now on this website) – enough presents so he can really surprise the kids and the adults too.
This year Santa is again asking for your help. If you know a family who has had a catastrophic event occur this past year who live locally to Jackson, please fill out the form below. Santa hopes to bring a Magical Christmas to 3-5 families (depending on how close each family is to the other as we use antique cars to deliver the presents). All families will be vetted.
Please enjoy this video of Santa Jim and if you are interested in finding out more about making a donation or how you can assist, please see below.
