Operation Santa

History of Operation Santa

In 1995, we conducted our first holiday party at the Interfaith Shelter for Homeless Families in Harrisburg. That was 29 years ago! 

Each holiday season, we conduct several parties, arrange a visit with Santa and help him purchase very nice gifts for the children. We typically served 25 to 30 children each year. Of course, we get the real Santa from the North Pole! "Go ahead," we tell the kids, "Tug on that beard!"
