Every year, Baltimore families send letters to the AFRO American Newspapers’ office requesting food, clothes and toys for their children.

Afro Charities acts as a fiscal sponsor for the annual drive.

Since its founding, Mrs. Santa has served thousands of families in the Baltimore area, and has become a holiday giving tradition for people and organizations across the region.

If you would like to request aid this holiday season, please send a detailed letter about your family (number of kids, their clothing sizes, etc.) to the address below, or to mrssanta@afro.com.

If you would like to donate funds towards making lasting holiday memories, please send a check made out to “Afro Charities” to the address below with “Mrs. Santa” in the memo line, or donate online here. Your donation is tax-deductible.
