OPERATION SANTA
New Moms’ “Operation Santa” is a collaborative effort in which we collect donated gifts for families and distribute everything safely to their homes. We need you to make this year a success!
Help ensure every family in our programs has a special Christmas by donating to the gift drive or volunteering to pack the gift deliveries. Learn more about ways to get involved down below!

Donate
Help us get presents under the tree for 229 moms and 270 kids. Every young mom gets to select the perfect gifts for her family from the collection, which are then dropped off at their home by New Moms staff!
- Click here to purchase items from our Amazon Christmas Registry and they will be delivered directly to New Moms’ Chicago office. On this list you’ll find toys for kids, gifts for moms (who deserve to feel special on Christmas too!), gift cards, and gift wrapping supplies.
- You can also click here to download a flyer that you can print and share with your networks!
***IMPORTANT:
– Donations are due by Monday, December 2nd at our Austin location (5317 W. Chicago Ave., Chicago IL)
– NOTE ON GIFT CARDS: If you’d like to buy a gift card, we are seeking PHYSICAL gift cards of $25. But you can also donate to the “Diaper Fund” which is a general fund to support Operation Santa as well.
Volunteer
We need a lot of volunteer help in November and early December to pull off this year’s Operation Santa.
Click here if you’re interested in volunteering! Shift dates/times are extremely flexible. Duties consist of unboxing donated gifts, sorting, packing them up for families, and cleaning up afterwards.
