Each holiday season, SantaSearch activates an "Email Santa" link to which thousands of children and adults respond. Each letter is answered individually by Santa and his team of dedicated elf volunteers who address each letter with sensitivity and humor.

On too many occasions, the children or their parents write to Santa stating they do not possess the means to have their basic needs met during the Christmas Season. A special team of "elves" address those letters specifically and, most often, reply to the parents of the child in addition to replying to the child themselves. To this end, we have created Operation SantaSearch, a database of charities, toy drives, foodbanks and organizations that can assist these families in need.

Agencies like The Salvation Army, Toys for Tots, The Red Cross, Food Banks and many many more are included. Eventually, the data bases will be expanded to include as many countries as possible. Information from the database is made available and forwarded to the families in need so that Santa can ensure that the children and their families have a comfortable and better holiday season.

We invite you to visit SantaSearch and Operation SantaSearch and perhaps, your child or a child you know can write to Santa for Christmas!
