OUR WORK

Letters To Santa brings immeasurable joy and vital economic relief to local families.  On Christmas Day, families are surprised with armloads of gifts like clothing, toys and computers.  Additionally, each family receives an unconditional cash grant of $10,000 for ongoing expenses.  Every penny raised goes directly towards supporting families in poverty. Letters To Santa is the primary program of Poverty Alleviation Chicago, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
