Serving children ages 2–16 across Connecticut.
Santa's Angels connects struggling families across the state of Connecticut with kind and generous people and businesses to create smiles on children's faces and true Christmas miracles.
For Families
Asking for a little help during a difficult time should never make you feel ashamed or judged.
Santa's Angels was created by a parent who has experienced hard times, just like many of the families we help each year. We understand that sometimes life simply becomes too much to carry alone. There is no judgment here — only kindness, dignity, understanding, and the respect every family deserves.
Your family's information stays private. Sponsors only ever see a child's first name, age, gender, sizes, and wishlist.
Tell us about your family and your qualifying children ages 2–16. There is no shame in asking. Every family goes through hard times.
Generous people and businesses across Connecticut choose gifts from your children's wishlists, and Santa's Angels makes sure they reach your family.
Parents get to share the joy of Christmas morning with their children as they open the gifts they wished for and experience their own Christmas miracle.

About Santa's Angels
A gift with angel wings —
carried by kindness.
Santa's Angels began in 2019, when a Facebook outreach community called Grateful Solutions was created to connect people and families who were struggling with people who were able and willing to help. That first Christmas, families were helped with new and gently used toys and clothing.
In 2020, during COVID, the need became even greater. The program grew into a sponsor and adopt model built around new Christmas gifts — and that year, 75 children received Christmas.
Afterward, parents shared photos and videos of their children opening their gifts. Seeing those moments of pure joy is what inspired Santa's Angels to keep going.
Year after year, Santa's Angels has continued to grow and has helped hundreds of children across Connecticut — serving qualifying children ages 2–16, one Christmas miracle at a time.
