Globe Santa
For nearly 70 years, Globe Santa, a signature program of the Boston Globe Foundation, has delivered holiday presents to more than 3 million children in need throughout Greater Boston. The goodwill of the community has always been Globe Santa’s greatest strength. People from all walks of life show up for each other as neighbors helping neighbors, families helping families, and generations joining together in a tradition shared throughout the Greater Boston community. Thanks to the community’s generosity, Globe Santa is able to deliver age-appropriate toys, books, and games to nearly 30,000 children every season.
