Thank you to everyone who joined in the "Operation Santa Claus-a-thon" Wednesday, helping to raise an amazing amount of money and donations for the annual Arizona holiday toy and food drive!
After 14 hours of Operation Santa Claus coverage, we were able to raise $57,285 for Valley charities.
Remember, you can still donate toys, clothes, non-perishable food items and monetary donations through December 20.
You can drop off all donations to the ABC15 studios, any of the Sanderson dealerships, The UPS Store location nearest you, or any Operation Santa Claus event.
Get a map of drop-off locations.
We need your help to support Arizona, and support our community during this holiday season.
Donations from Operation Santa Claus will benefit St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance, Tim and Willy's Kid's FUN-Dation, The Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center, and Operation Homefront of Arizona.
