Operation Santa's Elves is a national service campaign sponsored by Woodmen of the World and/or Assured Life Association to help bring the joy of Christmas and Santa to the lives of needy children right in our own neighborhoods. These economic times have created more need among families unable to provide their children with Christmas gifts than ever before; enter, Operation Santa's Elves!
The Committee of Fraternal Affairs and Woodmen/Assured Life invite you to participate in Operation Santa's Elves by seeking out a local organization or program that assists in providing Christmas gifts to kids that would not otherwise receive anything for Christmas. Regardless of the program or its name, we want to count it towards Operation Santa's Elves.
For many members and camps/lodges, these are projects that we do every year. However, when we compile them into a nationwide report, the impact that we make as a Society can be shared by all of us. It really is true; every little bit helps. So, help us with Operation Santa's Elves and let's see what we can accomplish together again this year.
