Santa & Friends has a passion for ministry based on our deep sense of purpose, our love for God, and our desire to make a positive impact on those hurting and in need. 

This desire is what drives us to follow the example of Jesus in service and love for others.  This is why our heart was  drawn to western NC after the devastation of Hurricane Helene in September 2024.

In November 2024, Santa & Friends delivered sleeping bags, blankets coats, hats, scarves, gloves anything to help keep the people warm. We also delivered animal food. 

In December 2024, Santa & Friends shared the magic of Christmas by delivering 8500 toys to the children.

We hosted a “Happy Birthday Jesus”

party for the families. They were treated to food, treats, gifts and fellowship with our amazing volunteers.

In April 2025, Santa & Friends delivered 600 Easter Baskets to the children.  The children and their families enjoyed a fun spring carnival, food and lots of Easter eggs. Even the Easter Bunny showed up for this special event. 

Santa & Friends will be hosting a “School Supply Giveaway” on August 2, 2025.  Our goal is to bring hope and encouragement to the children by providing what they need to begin the 2025-26 school year with confidence and support. Please reach out to us if you would like to help with this outreach. 

Santa & Friends has a heart for compassion and care and is committed to continue to support the families and children in western NC as they continue to struggle. We invite you to join us on this journey.

In March 2025 we headed back to Spruce Pine, North Carolina with 500 Easter Baskets for the children in the region. Our amazing volunteers packed each basket with treats and love for the children. We can’t think our volunteers and those who donated enough for helping bring smiles to the faces of these families.
