Operation Santa is Citizen Support for America's Military only project.

Since 2005 we have shipped 210,722 stockings to our troops!

Please join us on October 19 at Culver’s at 901 N Hershey, Bloomington from 5pm to 9pm!

A percentage of the proceeds raised goes to support Operation Santa’s efforts to send handmade stockings full of comfort items to the troops serving in Combat Zones around the world!

Names will be taken starting Oct 1, 2016

Operation Santa 2016 is now underway! Our goal this year is to ship 5,000 hand-made Christmas stockings filled with comfort items to our troops serving our country overseas. Our mission is to give troops a little gift of holiday cheer and comfort while reminding them that their service is not forgotten.

Between now and the end of October, Operation Santa will be collecting items at various events and locations around Central Illinois.  A list of items for our men, women and K-9 are on our website.  We have updated the wish list to accommodate the items our troops have requested.
 
Please follow us on Facebook: Operation Santa-Central Illinois or visit our website for updates and upcoming events.  You can also find pictures and letters on our website and our Facebook page showing how much a stocking and cards means to our troops.
 
If you have a loved one serving overseas, we will be accepting names beginning October 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.  If you have someone serving please click the link on our website to “Request stockings”.

Due to the economy and significant shipping expense, funds are our greatest need. Please send your tax deductible gift to Operation Santa, P.O. Box 1975, Bloomington, Illinois 61702. We are an all-volunteer group dedicated to serving our deployed troops while they serve our nation.

Once again, thank you so much for helping support our troops!    Remember, it is the least we can do for their sacrifices.
