Operation Santa Accepting Donations

Over 70 years ago, Pauline McKenna, a school nurse, and Pauline Moscato, an elementary school teacher, decided to provide for children in the community who were not able to have bright and happy holiday seasons. Their selfless actions began a Naples tradition that has continued ever since.

Last year, through the generous contributions of area businesses and residents, more than 60 families received clothing, books, toys and food coupons, and over 50 senior citizens were remembered with fruit baskets.

I am honored to once again be this year’s chairperson of Operation Santa.  A student committee of 10th – 12th grade students has already begun working.   We would like to ask you to consider donating to Operation Santa this year.   Every dollar helps to make the holiday better for those who are less fortunate in our community.  Check donations should be made out to “Operation Santa” and sent to Operation Santa, Naples Central School, 2 Academy St., Naples, NY  14512.

Thank you very much for your support.  Please contact me by email at kvandesande@naplescsd.org , in my office at 374-7957, or by cell phone at 261-9522 if you have any questions or need more information.   With everyone’s help, we can make the holidays brighter for our community. 

Happy Holidays!  

For Operation Santa,
