Operation Santa Claus Committee


The Operation Santa Claus (OSC) program has successfully completed another year of delivering gifts to NH’s neediest children. In its 49th year and during an economic recession, SEA members, sponsors, and Donors all joined together to meet almost 3000 requests for gifts from NH children during the holidays

Chapter 44 Cookbook

2010 OSC CookbookHot off the Press!  SEA Chapter 44 (Department of Education) teamed up with Berlin High School Graphics Arts students to publish a cookbook to support Operation Santa Claus. The cookbook includes a wide variety of recipes: Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins... Jambalaya... Harira... Irish Soda Bread... Mile High Mocha Alaska... everyone will be able to find at least one new "favorite recipe" in this book!

The cookbook will be sold throughout the coming year as a fundraiser for Operation Santa Claus, which celebrates its 50th Anniversary in 2010. The cookbook is available for $8/each; $15/two copies; or $20/three copies.  Checks should be made payable to SEA Chapter 44. Cookbooks can be purchased at the SEA Office, but please call 271-3411 x100 or email to make sure there are copies available. (The first print run is almost sold out -- but Chapter 44 is ordering more!)

Update - Had fun shopping !

Great news, I received 20.50 point towards the OSC fundingfactory recycling program. I sent in over 40 items and have received credit for 12 items so far. Waiting for them to add the other items to my account. This is a great program but its too bad no one really knows it exists. If more people knew that they could help children without spending a penny I'm sure more people would. I would think that most household in NH have a printer or two, if not many business in the area do and probably throw these items away.

Wow, shopping for 11 children was a blast. It was a really great experience. It's interesting that most of the case sheets show that the kids only want a few toys.  Almost all of the kids though need clothes especially winter jackets and snow pants.  Though $60 doesn’t really go far these days, when the sales are on it's amazing how much more you can get.

This week I also spent 3 hours at the SEA headquarters helping match sponsors to case sheets. Again, each time that I read these case sheets I'm amazed that there are so many children in NH in need of basic necessities like pants, shirts, pjs. We need to get the word out that kids right here in NH need help. I'm not really sure people know just how many children are in need.
