About Operation Santa

Honoring Our Heroes With Hope And Help For The Holidays

  • Operation Santa Charities, Inc. was started in 2003 by the members of VFW Post 12002 with the intent of using funds raised from both private and corporate donors to provide support for Georgia-based deployed troops fighting overseas and their families here at home.
  • Since its creation, the charity has raised nearly $350,000 and has spent that money making certain that those fighting for our freedoms know that we appreciate their sacrifices and that we are 100% behind them, their families, AND their missions.
  • Freedom Fighter’s Open is the charity’s signature annual event.  Each year, members of VFW Post 12002 and other volunteers purchase targeted Christmas gifts for the children of all Georgia-based troops deployed overseas.
  • Since its inception, Operation Santa has touched the lives of over 5,000 children (630 in 2019 alone).
  • Operation Santa Charities, Inc. is an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff, and Operation Santa is staffed solely by volunteers.
