The is a local, nonprofit 501 (c) (3) all-volunteer organization that provides struggling families with toys, food and monetary assistance. Santee Santas was established in 1953 by Margaret Ness and Charles Skidmore, Superintendent of the Santee School District. Other key supporters were Perry Shipman, Gelene Harritt and John and Ruth Northcote. The first year four or five families were served, delivery was made by firetruck and Santee was mainly farm and dairy land. The Santee School was the only school, with about 200 students.
The Santee School District assumed the responsibility for coordinating the program until 1985. At that time the school district decided that it should assume a smaller role in the administration of the program and encouraged the establishment of a volunteer organization. Today, Santee Santas has 100s of volunteers and a board of directors consisting of nine members.
-- Each year a food drive is organized through our local elementary and high schools to bring some holiday cheer to struggling families. With the generous support of local businesses, nonprofit organizations and volunteers alike, food and toys are collected, sorted, boxed, (toys are wrapped) and delivered to Santee families in need each December. In 2011, Santee Santas served over 300 families during the holidays, including 385 children.
