Letter: USPS Operation Santa begins soon
Icon viewers:
For more than 108 years, USPS Operation Santa has helped bring joy to kids across the country. This year the magic of Santa has expanded nationwide with the digital Operation Santa online platform including, Bluffton, Ohio.
But Santa needs your help. Please spread the word that children can begin sending in their letters. Also, customers can be one of Santa’s Elves by adopting letters to Santa online and anonymously, granting the wishes of children in need.
Here is how it works:
Children should send address their letters to, Santa, 123 Elf Road, North Pole 88888. Don’t forget the stamp. There are also writing kits online that include images of Hollygram, Santa’s lead elf. Letters are then blinded for any identifying information and uploaded to USPSOperationSanta.com.
Letter adoption begins Dec. 4, 2020, and its easy. You can go to the website to complete a short registration and identity verification. You can browse through letters and adopt as many as you like and even have the option to adopt a family.
Once a letter has been adopted, you will receive a QR code to take to a qualifying Label Broker Post Office. You can find these offices by visiting usps.com/locator.
Caring members of the public and postal community shop, wrap and ship the package through the Postal Service. Happy children receive their packages from Santa and the magic of the season continues.
