OPERATION SANTA
The Lesniak Institute for American Leadership is proud to announce our 23rd annual Operation Santa. Operation Santa is more than just a toy drive; for many of the children who participate, it may be the only gift they receive this Christmas. In 2023, we provided gifts to over 100 deserving children and served meals to 200 people. The event featured music, games, Santa, and much more. This year, we plan to make Operation Santa even bigger! Along with gifts and festivities for the children, we are inviting local organizations to offer financial coaching, well-being checks, and provide parents with information about available benefits and resources, such as guidance on how to purchase a home, a car, or meet other essential needs. While Operation Santa will always focus on the children, we are aiming to ensure that parents also leave with valuable information.
