Santa's Helpers Needed!
We are looking for volunteers including businesses and/or individuals, to sign up to be a Santa’s Helper and bring joy to a foster child this holiday season. Each Santa’s Helper will be anonymously assigned a child and will receive a personal wish list from that child that includes one personal items like clothing as well as toys.
The foster children participating in this program are ages birth to 12 years of age, and are currently under the care of the Department of Children and Families (DCF) in the Merrimack Valley, including Lawrence, Methuen, Andover, North Andover and the greater Haverhill region. Individuals, groups, or businesses may sign up to sponsor one child or more. Cash donations are accepted in lieu of receiving a Christmas wish list.
Program Details:
October: The sign up process when businesses and individuals volunteer to become a Santa’s Helper.
November: Each Santa’s Helper will be assigned a child and receive a wish list that will provide the gender and age of the child.
December 3rd: All gifts are due and can be dropped off at two locations:
