It may only be October, but Santa Claus is always working to ensure children everywhere get Christmas gifts.
Last week, The Salvation Army joined forces with the Alaska National Guard to kick off the 70th year of Operation Santa Claus. Volunteers came together in Anchorage to wrap gifts for children in Nanwalek and Wales, which will be delivered in the coming weeks.
Operation Santa will also be wrapping and delivering gifts for Rampart, Stevens Village, and Angoon this year, with the help of volunteers in Fairbanks and Juneau.
We are grateful for the Alaska National Guard, the donated toys, our volunteers, and Santa Claus for working together to continue this cherished tradition.
Operation Santa Claus will be visiting five Alaskan communities this year ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/yetsnn4t
