A Holiday message to our Hillside Special Santas

Because of our many Hillside Special Santas within the Hillside Family of Agencies communities, more than 5,900 children and families are celebrating their holidays with toys, warm clothing, books, dolls, and games. Teens are enjoying their music, jewelry, books & journals, hoodies, hats & gloves and colognes. Families are thrilled with their grocery gift cards and we were thrilled with cash donations to purchase what was needed most.

You are the Hillside Special Santa who made it all happen, whether through the donation of a gift or gifts, volunteering your time, or organizing your office, scout, school or community group to participate. To you, we thank you more than we could ever say.

We also thank our many Hillside Special Santa Community Partners who we provided gift collection boxes and gift wish tags in close to 100 locations throughout Western and Central New York. Our Hillside Special Santa media partners provided creative messages about our kids and how to get involved. Thank you.

What a happy day for our children and families, and you too. Be happy today because you have done a wonderful thing for a child or family who you will never know, but they know you. You are their Hillside Special Santa. Feel good!

Happy holidays to you and your family from all of us here at Hillside Family of Agencies.
