About Operation Santa Claus
For over two decades, Operation Santa Claus has brought holiday joy to Arizona families in need. The annual charity drive, which began in November, collects food, toys, clothes, and monetary donations for local charities. Participants in the drive are entered into a weekly drawing to become one of 15 finalists for a chance to win either a new Ford F-150 truck or a new Lincoln Corsair.
“This Arizona tradition embodies the true spirit of the holidays, bringing communities together to support those who need it most,” said a spokesperson for Operation Santa Claus.
