SANTA'S HELPERS
PROGRAM
Sign up here to sponsor a child for the 2026 Season
Program Details:
Each Santa’s Helper will be assigned a child and will receive a personal wish list from that child that includes personal items like clothing as well as toys.
The foster children participating in this program are ages birth to 14 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 a child or multiple children. Recommended spend is $150-175 per child.
