With thousands of letters to Santa Claus, the U.S. Postal Service is calling upon volunteers to help answer them and to also contribute financial resources to help their elves answer more letters.
“We invite the public to join us in spreading holiday cheer by adopting a USPS Operation Santa letter,” said Sheila Holman, the Postal Service’s vice president of marketing. “Every year, we receive far more letters than those adopting. So if you have the means, we encourage you to adopt a letter. And this year we’re making it easier for groups to adopt family letters — making the holidays brighter for everyone in a household. And they’re fun and easy to complete with friends or coworkers.”
Here’s how one can help the project after logging onto USPS Operation Santa’s official website.
- Create a login and verify your identity;
- Browse available letters from across the U.S;
- Adopt the letters you love — including family letters;
- Shop for the perfect gift through Santa’s Work Shoppe or on your own; and
- Ship your gift right away through our online catalog or from a Post Office location
