About the North Bay Santa Fund

2023 marks the 76th anniversary of the North Bay Santa Fund.

Every year the North Bay Santa Fund collects donations to help those in need during the holiday season. Our volunteers assemble over 400 baskets of groceries and over 1,500 toys to be delivered to families and children in North Bay.

The Santa Fund is the city’s largest and longest-running fundraising effort. Each year, individuals and groups in the community coming up with creative ways to help support the cause. The packing and delivery of hampers is a Christmas tradition for many residents. Many volunteers braving the weather to help ensure that families don’t go without during the holidays.

No families without food,
no children without toys.

You can make your donation online or at the Gem Sewing at 259 Worthington Street West from December 4th – 22nd, Monday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. and you will receive an official tax receipt from our dedicated volunteers. We thank you for continuing the dream that Art Haley, Sam Jacks and Ed Dewey started 76 years ago.
