Operation Santa Claus

The County of Orange Operation Santa Claus program provides gifts and toys to children in foster care, group homes and needy children who are abused, neglected or physically challenged.

The program distributes over 45,000 gifts each year through toy drives and collections. The Operation Santa Claus program is coordinated and maintained by the Social Services Agency, with support from community volunteers. Over 350 volunteers from County agencies and the community have been the backbone of Operation Santa Claus since its inception.

Christmas 2010 saw the Morgan Drexen community team head out to shop until they dropped purchasing toys for all age ranges. Morgan Drexen employees filled over 12 large boxes with both new and used toys for Operation Santa Claus.
