USPS receives thousands of letters to Santa each holiday season, and the mission of Operation Santa® is to answer these letters with the help of people all over the country.
You can "adopt" and answer a letter (or multiple) through the program and buy gifts for the recipient, which will be shipped after you bring it to a participating Post Office™.
The operation begins December 4th, and you must sign up and be verified (for safety reasons) in order to participate. You can learn more and sign up at the official website: USPS Operation Santa®.

As many of you know, the air quality recently has been fluctuating between moderate and unhealthy for sensitive groups. This is the ramification of the wildfires which have taken up the West Coast by storm. These fires are the result of many things, some being human mistake, but others being the result of a larger issue- global warming. With increasing temperatures, many regions in California are more susceptible to fires, and thus leading to many people being forced to evacuate their home. This month, we are focusing on helping out those people who have been displaced and giving them the items necessary to help them revert in any way back to their normal life.
