Answer a sad letter to Santa written by a child who needs a brighter Christmas. Read real letters to Santa from needy kids at participating postal branches, take home one or more that move you, and send your gifts directly to the children who wrote Santa.
There’s no middle man or charity. It’s micro-philanthropy, direct from you to a child, when you volunteer in this way. www.BeAnElf.org is the best website to learn how and where to participate in the USPS Operation Santa program. The site recommends smart gifts to give, offers a national list of participating postal branches, and suggests giving an Elf party for friends to bring presents to and wrap them together.
Check out www.BeAnElf.org for the best info available on how to participate in the USPS Operation Santa program. You’ll catch the true spirit of the holidays, and put smiles on the faces of needy kids on Christmas morning.
