We are now accepting online donation application forms. We recognize that the need in our community is great and expect that the demands for funding will surpass our budgetary resources.

OPERATION SANTA CLAUS
For 50 years, Jimmy and Susan Lomax made Christmas a reality for thousands of Hamilton and Burlington residents in need.
In 2010, the Children’s Fund took over stewardship and will continue the tradition of “Operation Santa Claus” in Hamilton/Burlington and is one of Canada’s largest Toy Drives.
The Children’s Fund donates over thousands of toys to over 20 local children’s charities, through OPERATION SANTA CLAUS Toy Drive leading up to Christmas.
