A simple wish to see every child receive a new toy at Christmas.

Help Nurture a Love for Reading!

Every Gift Package from 630 CHED Santas Anonymous includes an age-appropriate book, even for our youngest recipients under age 2. This year, more than ever, we were very short on donations of books.  

Did You Know?  The average child from a professional family hears 215,000 words per week; a child from a working class family hears 125,000 words per week; and a child from a family receiving social assistance hears 62,000 words per week.  

Books are a crucial part of language development, creativity and relationship building for children which is why it's so important for the elves at Santas Depot to include a book for every child that receives toys from Santas Anonymous.

Donations are accepted year-round at 630 CHED - 5204 84 Street Monday-Friday 8am-5pm.
