Donor List 2024
These our all our donors for the 2024 season.
Lest Santa Forget...
On behalf of thousands of local children who receive gifts from the Santa Claus Girls each year, and countless more who have been given presents over the past century, we thank you for supporting our community’s mission of making sure no child is forgotten.
Your donation blesses children by helping provide gifts to Kent County children age 12 and under who wouldn’t receive a gift without your help. Thank you!

I am doing this because God has called me to donate to children in need. If you are in a time of struggle, do not look to the things of this world, but look Christ our Savior. The reason we celebrate this wonderful holiday is because of Jesus’s wonderful birth. If you don’t believe me, Jesus’s birth literally split up time. BC and AD(before Christ and after death). By saying AD and BC you are acknowledging Christ’s birth. If you are asking the question, “If God is real then why would he let all of these terrible things happen in this world?” The answer is: 1 John 5-19- “We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one(Satan)” This means that the more the world decides to turn away from God, the more the enemy(Satan) will have a grasp on us. I hope this message brought light into your Christmas. Remember, God loves you with all of his heart.
