Secret Santa
Christmas can be a sad and lonely time for a child in out-of-home care. They are away from their families, have had numerous disappointments in their young lives, and have little hope that things will change. By fulfilling one small wish they have for Christmas, the message of love and hope is given to these children. The philosophy for Secret Santa is that, for once, children should be able to ask for what they want, no matter how silly it may seem, and get exactly what they wish for.
The Secret Santa elves gather wish lists from children, which are given to community shoppers or shopped for by Fostering Futures itself to fill all the lists. A week before Christmas the gifts are distributed and delivered so Christmas morning will bring a smile to the children’s faces and send a little warmth and hope to their hearts. In 2023, the Secret Santa Program brought 845 smiles on Christmas morning. Santa must deliver!!
