City Santa is an all-volunteer 501(C)3 nonprofit started in 2001 when a letter to Santa was picked up at the New York City Post Office. Since then, thousands of New Yorkers who were victims in domestic violence shelters, disadvantaged children in cancer hospice, homebound seniors, veterans, families in transition and others have received a hand up from those committed to helping those in need. What started out as just a holiday activity, expanded over the years to include back-to-school drives for children in homeless shelters, baskets with necessities for women in domestic violence shelters, and shoes for those living on the streets. We are grateful to our generous donors, businesses and volunteers who make all this possible.
