A wonderful thank you note from one our agency partners that we support. One child's smile makes it all worthwhile.
We are blessed for all our supporters and donors and we know we cannot do this without you.
We have already started to gear up for our 68th year!
🎅❤️🙏

12/23/2025

We had a successful 67th year of supporting 215 families, 400 kids with approximately 1,000 gifts. We were also able to provide a food gift card to each family for the holidays.

Thank you to all the Donors, Supporters and to our partner organizations who identify and sponsor these families - Colorado Coalition For The Homeless, Home Front Military Network, Hope Communities, Developmental Pathways, Jewish Family Services, The Villages, South Metro Housing Options and From Silenced To Saved. And a shout out and special thanks to our venue host; Latter Day Saints Columbine Stake Church in Littleton, Colorado.

"We're For The Kids!"

May your holidays be bright and 2026 be a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

It's that time of year again! We are in our 66th year. We do business as Operation Santa Claus and Colorado Gives is accepting donations until December 10th. All the donations are eligible for matching. We sure could use the help. Also in image 2 is a way for you to associate your rewards ID with Operation Santa Claus and Kroger gives us a small percentage of the sale as part of their community outreach with no impact to your rewards.

Our partner organizations have given us their inputs and we are preparing to support their needs with food and gifts for their families. There's still a big need out there.

We're for the kids!
