Operation Santa is dedicated to doing its best to make children's dreams come true. The program invites people to adopt and respond to the letters sent to Santa, fulfilling the holiday wishes of children all across the nation.
“The holidays are a time to celebrate the joy of the season. But for some, the simple act of exchanging even small gifts is out of reach,” says Sheila Holman, vice president of marketing for the Postal Service. “For more than 100 years, USPS Operation Santa has given kindhearted people the opportunity to make dreams come true for thousands of children and their families through simple acts of kindness.”
Submitted letters must follow the program guidelines found at USPSOperationSanta.com and be postmarked by December 5th to be eligible for adoption and fulfillment—the program does not guarantee that every letter will be adopted. Letters submitted should be sent to Santa's official workshop address:
Santa Claus, 123 Elf Rd. North Pole, 88888
USPS Operation Santa began accepting letters to Santa on September 14th. Registration to adopt the letters starts November 2nd. The letter adoption window opens on Nov. 16, and registrants can adopt single or family letters.
