Westchester Postmasters are helping raise public awareness that the USPSOperationSanta.com website is active and ready to welcome potential letter adopters to help make the holiday season special for deserving children and their families.
Thousands of letters are written to the USPS Operation Santa program every year in hopes of being adopted by kind and generous people across the country. These letters are opened by Santa’s Elves and, for safety reasons, all personally identifiable information of the letter writer is removed (i.e. last names, addresses, ZIP Codes) and uploaded to USPSOperationSanta.com for adoption through Dec 15.
Potential adopters can visit USPSOperationSanta.com, read through the letters, pick one or more wishes that they’d like to fulfill, and follow the directions on how to grant that special wish for a child. For security reasons, potential adopters must be vetted by going through a short registration and ID verification process before being allowed to adopt any letter.
To participate in USPS Operation Santa as a possible recipient of holiday gifts, write a letter, put it in a stamped envelope with a return address, and send it to Santa’s official workshop address:
Santa Claus, 123 Elf Road,
North Pole, 88888
Extensive USPS holiday information, including shipping deadlines and the history of USPS Operation Santa, can be found at usps.com.
