The Bedford Community Santa Program operates entirely by generous donations and volunteer efforts, including supplying gifts for those in need within our program and providing support to other programs in town with extra donations.
We are collecting gift cards again this year for families in town who could use a boost to purchase gifts for their children this time of year. Families are identified by Bedford Youth & Family Services and school staff.
Funds are used to pay for things such as printing, postage, dry cleaning, costumes, costume repair or replacement, office supplies, storage fees, custodial fees and gifts for children whose families need assistance.
