Nov 21, 2024 at 9:00am ~ Dec 05, 2024 at 9:00pm The holidays are a time for warmth, generosity and giving back. Hands On Tokyo invites you to join their annual “Be a Santa Project,” that collects donations for holiday gifts for kids. This heartwarming initiative that brings holiday cheer to children in need.

From now until December 5, 2024, your support can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children living in challenging circumstances. This year’s initiative aims to deliver donation-based holiday presents to 200 children, including those residing in children’s homes, single-mother support shelters, and facilities for children undergoing long-term medical treatment. Gifts include toys, books, snacks and other joyful surprises tailored to each child’s age group, spanning from infants to high schoolers.

A donation of just ¥3,000 is enough to provide one to two children with a personalized holiday gift. Your contribution will also support packaging and shipping costs, ensuring that every gift arrives on time to bring smiles to children’s faces. Last year, the Be a Santa Project raised ¥692,000, enabling Hands On Tokyo to deliver presents and joy to 180 children.

Contributions after the official deadline supported children with special needs and those from single-parent families through additional seasonal events and community programs. To participate, simply visit Hands On Tokyo’s website and indicate “Be a Santa Project” on your donation form. As a.
