Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered
At Santa’s Angels, we know people have lots of questions about how it all works — from donating funds to helping out on Christmas morning.
Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to get involved, lend a hand, or request a visit.
Below, you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our donation process, volunteer opportunities, and Christmas morning visits.
Donating To Santa's Angels
Santa’s Angels assists all communities across on PEI. Santa and the elves bring food, toys, and gifts on each visit, and each package is customized based upon the needs of the individual or family.
100% of the funds we recieve go directly to families in need, as we are 100% volunteer-operated. All money donated stays here on PEI.
Volunteering With Us
We try to fill shifts in the order that volunteer registrations are received. When our scheduling is complete, our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to confirm your shift. Following a comprehensive review, final shifts and group details will be emailed before Christmas Day.
Your name and information will be entered into our volunteer list. We thank you for your patience as we organize the hundreds of volunteer forms we receive each year. When we’re ready, our Volunteer Coordinator will reach out to you to try and schedule you for a shift.
We ask our volunteers to register every year to meet our insurance requirements.
It depends on the route you are assigned to; it could be 2 to 4 hours. If you have a time commitment, you should note that when you sign up to volunteer.
For sure, for group volunteer opportunities please sign up on the web page using the same group name.
No problem, we have a full list of positions both before Christmas Day and on Christmas Day. We’ll announce when we need more help on our social media channels and website. Be sure to check back often!
Our Volunteer Coordinator will contact you directly by email or phone when we need your assistance.
Our need for volunteers increases in December. We also need volunteers when it is time for us move out of the workshop (after Christmas). Be sure to check our website and social media channels regularly, as we will post specific areas where help is needed.
Christmas Visits
Families with children who could use extra support on Christmas day. For kiddies who still believe in Santa, and families who are struggling for food, and some gifts. For families who aren’t receiving help from other charities. Santa may also visit individuals celebrating Christmas alone who could use some joy.
When Santa visits you, you can bet he’ll be HO HO HO-LDING a big red bag of goodies! This includes:
- A small gift for the kids
- A food box to include a ham, some veggies, eggs and milk and so on
- Best of all, Santa and his elves will bring all kinds of joy!
