Groups

Group Volunteers are an integral part of the 880 CHED Santas Anonymous season! Service groups, coworkers, friends and more come together to help deliver the Spirit of Christmas to less fortunate families in Edmonton. 

With more options to choose from than ever, there truly is something for everyone; come to Santa's Depot and experience the journey of a toy packaging gifts for kids, help out at various events year-round to help build awareness and raise funds.
