Things to Know Before You Apply
In order to serve our community equally and fairly, we break up the communities into three different areas. Area one: Daytona Beach, South Dayton, Holly Hill and Ormond Beach. Area two: Port Orange, New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, Oakhill and Samsula. Area three: Deltona, Deland, Orange City, Debary and Lake Helen. We take 34 from each area. Once we have reached capacity in your area, we will post that on the website. Please do not apply if your area is closed.

- Our sponsors work very hard and make sacrifices so your child can have a Christmas. That is why the gifts are wrapped so you can put the gifts directly under the tree on Christmas eve. Please do not take advantage of our sponsor’s great generosity when you apply.
* Due to shipping, toy demands and items being sold out you might not get everything on your list.
* We do get toys donated by our generous supporters that might be given to your child in substitution of one of the gifts requested but we do try to accommodate the child.
May the Lord bless you and your family during this holiday season as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. If you need to communicate with The Claus Family, please email us at theclausfamily1225@gmail.com
