Category: Santa Claus Club

A short history of the Santa Claus Club. We began in 1983 with a party on Christmas Day for 40 children in Cholla Bay. Over the next 31 years the party has grown to a record breaking year in 2013. In 2014 we shattered more records that have been kept with 60,040 pounds of food, 603 bicycles, 42,100 pounds of clothes, 1,501 family food boxes and 8,560 children given toys and school supplies. The party was held on Christmas Day thru 2006 and then in 2007 we changed to a year round format. We now go into the barrios on a weekly basis delivering door to door directly to the people that need our help the most. This gives us a better understanding of the day to day needs of the people we are trying to help. Our target group live in make-shift houses mostly construct

We have been providing food, clothes, bicycles, toys, school supplies and household items to the needy families of Puerto Peñasco for the past 30 years. For the first 24 years we had a Christmas party in Cholla Bay on Christmas Day. In 2008, we changed our format to a year round program. We now provide our services door to door on a weekly basis. This gives us a better understanding of the needs of the families we are trying to help.
