Special Santa
The Chillicothe Jaycees have run the Special Santa project for many
years.
The goal of Special Santa is to collect toys and raise funds to
purchase toys for disadvantaged children throughout Chillicothe and
Ross County. Ideally there will be a special Santa for each child who
is in need of something for Christmas. Thanks to programs such as
"Rock for Tots", a charity auction run each year to help
raise money for organizations like Special Santa, we are able to
provide many children with presents on Christmas morning. However,
without the help of the public, this project would not be possible. We
would like to encourage as many people as possible to take an ornament
from one of the locations below this Christmas season. The Jaycees would like to
thank all those who participate in this project for your help.
Because of your contribution, more local children are able to wake up
to a brighter Christmas morning.
- No Open Enrollment
- Please return all gifts to the location where you got the orniment no later than December 10, 2008.
- Donors don't need to wrap the gifts just make sure the ornament or number is on the outside of the package.

How Does the Special Santa Project Work?
Step 1
|
Step 2
|
Step 3
|
 |
 |
 |
| Children eligible for the Special Santa project make a wish
list for Santa Claus. |
An ornament is made for each child by the Special Santa
helpers. The child's wish list is attached to the ornament. |
Christmas trees are decorated at selected locations around
Chillicothe with the ornaments. |
Step 4
|
Step 5
|
Step 6
|
 |
 |
 |
| Locals in Chillicothe take an ornament from the trees, buy
gifts from the child's wish list, and return the ornament with the gifts to
the place where they took the ornament. |
The gifts are picked up by Special Santa helpers, organized
by family, and then picked up by the children's parents. |
The gifts are put under the family's Christmas tree on
Christmas morning. |
