Want to learn more about Operation Santa? This video explores the history and motivation behind this special project.
Operation Santa is The Arc of Buncombe County’s annual holiday assistance program, supporting children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Each year, we help local families by providing:
Personalized gifts for children and adults with IDD.
Holiday meals or grocery support.
Community connection through volunteer and donation opportunities.
Your support helps create a joyful, inclusive holiday season for those we serve.
Get involved today and be a shopper!
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the smiles on the faces of the individuals we serve when their holiday wish lists come true.
We're looking for Santa's Helpers to shop for gifts and help make the season brighter for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community. Whether you're a returning volunteer or joining us for the first time, we'd love to have you on our team!
