Give a letter from Santa to a child in foster care.

1. 1Letters get funded. Donated letters are paid for by the people who give them; the first batch of 100 is paid for by us, and local businesses can each stand behind one as a gesture.
2. 2Partner organisations supply the children. We are arranging the list through Bucks County foster-care and child-welfare organisations, who know which children would be lifted by a letter. Names never come to givers and never leave the caseworkers.
3. 3Santa writes. Each letter is personal to the child, written with a real pen, mailed in a sealed envelope with the child’s name on it to the foster home or the agency, with the Nice List certificate alongside, in December.
4. 4You hear what happened. After the letters go out you get a note with the number written and mailed, and you are thanked on this page if you want to be. Nothing about a giver appears on a child’s letter.

Plainly

• Recipients are being arranged. We have not yet finalised which organisations will supply the children. If, for any reason, we cannot place every donated letter with children in foster care in Bucks County, Pennsylvania this season, the balance goes to children nominated through our free-letter program in Bucks County, or we refund it. You choose, and we will ask.
• We are a small business, not a charity. A donation here is a purchase of letters delivered to children through partners, not a tax-deductible gift. The price is roughly half of what a family pays, enough to cover materials, postage and machine time.
• Sponsoring costs nothing and puts nothing on the letter. The first 100 letters are our own gift. A business sponsors one as a gesture and lends its voice; the child’s letter is from Santa and no one else. Later batches depend on demand and capacity. If you would rather fund letters as well, donate too.
• Children’s privacy comes first. No names, photos or stories are shared or published. The thank-you on this page is a giver’s name and a number, nothing about the children.
• Questions or a bigger idea? An organisation that serves these children and wants in, or an employer who wants to cover a whole caseload: elves@sentfromsanta.com.
