Santa's Helpers Inc. Spreads Holiday Cheer in 2023!
Santa's Helpers Inc. had another incredible year spreading joy and making a difference in the lives of children in need. Here are some highlights of their 2023 community impact:
- Helping nearly 3,000 children: Through various initiatives and programs, Santa's Helpers brought the magic of Christmas to close to 3,000 children who might not have otherwise experienced the holiday spirit.
- Hosting the first "Shop with a Hero" event: This heartwarming event paired children with local heroes, such as firefighters and police officers, for a special shopping spree at a toy store. The smiles on the kids' faces and the bonds formed with their heroes were truly priceless.
- Filling a 26-foot truck with toys: Thanks to the generosity of donors and volunteers, Santa's Helpers collected and donated a massive truckload of toys to be distributed to children in need by Toys for Tots. The sight of that overflowing truck was a testament to the community's spirit of giving.
- Donating nearly $500: In addition to the toy drive, Santa's Helpers also donated nearly $500 to Toys for Tots, providing them with additional resources to make the holidays special.
- Sponsoring 13 additional children: Santa's Helpers went the extra mile to ensure no child was left behind. They identified and sponsored 13 additional children who might have been forgotten, ensuring they received gifts and felt the warmth of the holiday season.
These are just a few examples of the incredible work that Santa's Helpers Inc. does to bring joy and hope to children in need. Their dedication and compassion make a real difference in the lives of so many families during the holiday season.

Our history
Both the Donnelly and Diamond families have a strong passion for supporting the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Program as individuals. As neighbors, they collaborated on ideas for toy drives and fundraisers. In 2019, they joined forces to form the non-profit organization called Santa's Helpers team. In late 2021, they obtained a business license and started the 501(3)(c) process to formalize their enduring commitment to charitable actions.
As a charity, Santa's Helpers team strives to make the community a better place and puts year-round effort into serving that goal. Similar to the Toys for Tots Foundation, Santa's Helpers Incorporated firmly believes that Every Child Deserves a Little Christmas. The organization looks for unique ways to raise money and source new, unwrapped toys throughout the year. Their mission is to help provide the joy of Christmas and send a message of hope to children in need.
