Our Impact

Since 2008, our efforts have helped make the holiday season brighter for thousands of children and families across Broward County.

Get Involved with Undercover Santa

At Undercover Santa, we believe that the true spirit of the holidays lies in giving and uplifting those in need. Since 2008, our efforts have helped make the holiday season brighter for thousands of children and families across Broward County. Our impact is measured not just in numbers, but in the joy, hope, and sense of community we help create.

What We’ve Achieved

  • 10,000+ Toys Donated
    Over the years, we have collected and distributed more than 10,000 toys to children who might otherwise go without during the holiday season. From bikes and dolls to books and games, these gifts bring happiness to children and give parents peace of mind knowing that their children will have something special to open on Christmas morning.
  • Hundreds of Families Fed
    The holidays can be a stressful time for families struggling to make ends meet, which is why we provide groceries and holiday meals to those in need. Through our grocery donation program, hundreds of families have been able to sit down to a warm, nourishing meal during the holiday season.
  • Community Events
    Every year, Undercover Santa hosts or participates in community events like Light Up Sistrunk and Light Up Carter Park. These events bring holiday cheer to entire neighborhoods, with festive decorations, live performances, and, of course, the distribution of toys and holiday essentials. These gatherings foster a sense of belonging and support within the community, ensuring that everyone feels included during this special time of year.
  • Fundraising for the Future
    Our fundraisers, such as the Cabaret for a Cause and our VIP afterparty, not only provide financial support for our programs but also bring people together for a common cause: to give back. These events have allowed us to expand our reach and help more families year after year, ensuring that our mission continues to grow.

Stories of Impact

  • A Christmas Miracle for One Family
    Last year, we received a heartwarming letter from a mother who, after losing her job, was unsure how she would provide Christmas for her children. Thanks to our toy drive and grocery donation, her children had toys under the tree, and she was able to cook a holiday meal for her family. “Undercover Santa made our Christmas,” she wrote. “I can’t thank you enough for the joy you brought into our home.”

  • Supporting Local Heroes
    Many of the families we help are led by hardworking individuals facing difficult times. One such story comes from a local firefighter who, after a year of unexpected medical expenses, struggled to make ends meet during the holiday season. Undercover Santa stepped in, providing toys for his three children and a grocery gift card for his family. “I’m used to helping others,” he said. “But this year, Undercover Santa came to our rescue.”

Beyond the Holidays

While our primary focus is on the holiday season, the impact of Undercover Santa extends well beyond Christmas. Our efforts foster a stronger sense of community, bringing people together and reminding everyone of the importance of compassion and generosity. Through our work, we are helping to build a culture of giving that lasts all year long.

By the Numbers:
  • 10,000+ toys donated to children in need.
  • Thousands of dollars in groceries distributed to families.
  • Hundreds of volunteers who give their time, energy, and heart.
  • Dozens of community partners and local businesses who help make our work possible.
Our Future Goals:
  • Expanding Our Reach
    We aim to double the number of toys and meals provided in the next three years, ensuring that no child or family in Broward County is left behind during the holiday season.
  • Growing Our Volunteer Base
    The heart of Undercover Santa lies in its volunteers. We hope to increase our volunteer base, giving more people the opportunity to get involved and give back.
  • Strengthening Partnerships
    By collaborating with more local businesses and community organizations, we can increase our capacity to help even more families in need, both during the holidays and beyond.
