Operation Santa Cause is the greatest organization in making sure that kids have a wonderful Christmas. Times are really hard with everything being so expensive so with the help of this organization my children did not go without this holiday season. It literally brings tears to my eyes seeing my children open the wonderful gifts that were provided by Operation Santa Cause. There are no words or even enough thank You's that can be given to this organization to ever be enough. I am truly grateful in everything that they do and have provided to families in need and the things they will continue to do. Bless this organization and I hope they can continue to bring many more families happiness as they have brought to mines. Again, with all my heart I am truly grateful for this organization!!!!
This group of women and their volunteers have been great. I am a Gold Star family member in this community. They have brought great joy to my daughter year after year with their thoughtful and wonderful gifts.
Operation Santa Cause has made it possible for me to give my children a Christmas this season! I learned of them last year and they have been amazing! Truly the kindest, compassionate caring individuals. I appreciate these ladies so much!!!
It’s never been an easy time to admit you’re struggling, but in the midst of the struggle, Ms Lynn and her team, always come through, they always welcome you and make you feel at home. They kindness and compassion for people is unmatched and it’s always a pleasure to be in their company. Thank you all for your hard work and your support through hard times.
The organization ensures that children of the Florida Army National Guard have toys for the Christmas Holidays. Our Rotary Club OP Sunrise has been supporting them with a toys fundraiser each year and this year the club donated over 100 toys. Kathleen Weise (the non-profit president) is very easy to work with and is a pleasure to work with. We will be supporting them again in 2025. Check them out. You will be VERY GLAD that you did.
Duane Mallicoat, President, Rotary Club Orange Park Sunrise
Our Rotary club of Orange Park Sunrise has been donating toys to Operation Santa Cause for about 5 years.
The toys are given in support of the Army National Guard to provide Christmas for the children. The parents send a wish list to our club for guidance.
Our goal this year was 79 toys and our generous members provided 80+
Operation Santa Cause is an amazing organization that really works hard to ensure that the children of our Service Members are not forgotten during the Holidays and beyond.
The organization supports the community by helping military families with toys for Christmas, A great group of volunteers and leaders in the Middleburg area.
Working with Operation Santa Clause brings such joy to my heart. Being able to see the people's faces as they receive gifts for their family is so filling. There are so many people that are barely getting by today, and I know the thought of buying gifts for their children weighs heavy on parents hearts around this time of year. Being able to come together to ease that hardship is amazing!
What an amazing organization! Please show them your support.

It is always a joy to put a donation box in my place of business. Our customers look forward
to helping these children and we usually have to have two boxes to fill.
Thankful for what operation Santa Cause is doing in our area.
This is a wonderful organization, such awesome support for our military children we should have groups like this. Kathleen is such a breath of fresh air, what a heart of gold.
Thank you for all you do.
i know Jeanne puts her heart and soul to this organization to help needy kids. These children deserve to be happy. It's so hard to not be with their mom or dad for months at a time especially during the holidays. Operation Santa Cause makes it possible to fulfill the children's wishes and make them happy during the Holidays. God Bless Jeanne and the rest of the team of "Operation Santa Cause" in making a difference in the lives of the military people and their families as they serve our country to keep it safe.
Operation Santa Cause is a beacon of hope and generosity in our community. This incredible non-profit is dedicated to ensuring that Gold Star Families and the children of our local Northeast Florida National Guard have a joyous Christmas. Their mission to provide toys and holiday cheer to these deserving families is truly inspiring. I have personally witnessed the positive impact of Operation Santa Cause. The smiles on the children’s faces and the gratitude from the parents are a testament to the difference Operation Santa Cause makes. Their dedication, compassion, and tireless efforts to support our community are truly commendable.
Operation Santa Cause is a great nonprofit organization that help lots of underprivileged children. Most of these children wouldn’t have any gifts if it wasn’t for the wonderful people that work so hard thru the year to provide for them. I’d the honor to contribute to this organization & will always support their amazing cause.
Operation Santa Cause is a most worthy nonprofit! It has such a pleasure to volunteer last year and will most definitely be doing all we can to help this year! With all the nonprofits helping veterans' the guard tends to get left out. This nonprofit helps cover those guard members who are in need around the holidays!
Jeanne and her team are doing amazing things at Operation Santa Cause. As an Army National Guard spouse I've seen first hand the great work they do to support military families. I hope they know how valuable they are to our community.
What a fantastic non profit organization! They collect Christmas gifts and distribute for gold star families. They take a great monetary stress off these families. Let's not forget the big smiles they provide on Christmas morning. A great organization!
Awesome, loving people who give so much of their time to make sure that children have a beautiful Christmas. Their hard work, time & love for what they do really shows. Love this organization!& all people involved. God Bless them all!
I recently had the privilege of learning about Operation Santa Cause Inc, a remarkable non-profit organization dedicated to bringing smiles to the faces of Northeast Florida National Guard children and Gold Star Children during the holiday season.

Her vision and leadership have propelled the organization forward, making a lasting impact on the lives of countless children. Her empathetic nature and commitment to service are evident in the way Operation Santa Cause operates and the smiles they bring to the faces of children in need.
What makes Operation Santa Cause even more remarkable is their attention to detail.

This personalized approach not only brings happiness but also makes the children feel seen and valued, fostering a sense of belonging and hope.
Moreover, Operation Santa Cause's commitment extends beyond the holiday season. They strive to build lasting relationships with the families they serve, offering support and resources throughout the year. This comprehensive approach demonstrates their dedication to the holistic well-being of these children and their families.
In conclusion, Operation Santa Cause Inc is an exceptional non-profit organization that goes above and beyond to provide joy and hope to Northeast Florida National Guard children and Gold Star Children during the holidays.

The staff running this organization is top notch! They love the kids and work incredibly hard to be sure that all kids have a wonderful Christmas.
Jeanne Scholl has giving and love in her heart. She embraces the holiday and has a mission to ensure the NE FL National Guard and Gold Star children in financial need are taken care of. They wish to bring toys and joy and smiles to these children's faces on Christmas. This cause reaches over 2,000 families, so the impact is truly commendable. I have been involved in sorting the donations by age group as they are prepared for the family Wish Lists. It is very hard to put into words how amazing this "Secret Santa" operation is and all of the tireless effort of this small volunteer group all year long to make one day very special for families that would otherwise go without. Many of us do not know how else we can thank those who serve our Country. Think of how much this would mean to a deployed mom or dad or to a widow. It is a small, but powerful way to give thanks and bring joy in a magical way. Kudos to Jeanne!
My daughter and myself have helped for a few years volunteering with this wonderful nonprofit. They provide for military families in time of need at Christmas time. I've seen so many families overjoyed at receiving gifts from this nonprofit. I definitely recommend Operation Santa Cause Inc.

Read moreThis is my first year on Active-Duty Orders and my financial situation has been pretty tight, nonetheless. I was advised by my LT of this program and was very optimistic, because anything is a blessing. However, when I picked up my 2 daughters' donated gifts, I was so pleasantly surprised. The gifts given are so amazing, it was above and beyond any expecatitons that I had. The Family support services on Camp Blanding made my year. My pride is never too high to not accept help and they did not make me feel like a charity case, but more like family. I was advised that some of these gifts were purchased out of pockets and I just want to thank everyone involved. Thank you so much for all you do for our community and our troops. Hooah!!!!
I cannot express enough gratitude for all that this wonderful organization has done for our military kids! They never turn down a request and do nothing half way. OSC always goes above and beyond to ensure that our FLNG families in need are able to give Christmas to their children. Jeanne is such an amazing and giving soul! We truly appreciate their giving spirit and the wonderful outreach they provide to our Soldiers in need.

Operation Santa Cause does an amazing job every year to make sure these kids have a Christmas filled with joy. Every time they explain to someone what is accomplished with the cause you can see the emotion run through them and see how committed they are to help these children.
Over the past 10+ years, I have seen this non-profit and it’s volunteers donate time and money to ensure 100 percent of the proceeds donated are ensure to bring children's Christmas wishes to reality, they fill the wish list and provide the parents a chance to feel whole. And the organization does it because they care for each and every family.
Operation Santa Cause has always been a shining light through tough times. I personally have been working alongside this non-profit for 8 years. I’ve seen the the hard work behind the scenes that provide the life changing moments, Being a mother of three having a hard time during unfortunate life events, having the magic of Christmas come alive is absolutely amazing. I can’t thank them enough for the driving force to make a change during the Christmas Season.

The team was organized how they organized all of the donations for distribution, as well as how "orders" were filled.

We were so blessed to have you as last year and are looking forward to this year with you by our side helping spread the Christmas cheer ! Thank you for volunteering so much of your time !
This is a perfect local charity to donate too! The coordinator and her volunteers do so well for the military community and they really show the love and passion to each child. They go above and beyond to make sure every military child keeps a smile on there faces. A wonderful non profit to donate too
I have helped with Operation Santa Cause for the last several years. I have found it to be a very rewarding nonprofit to help raise money for children who are in need of Christmas gifts. Jeanne and all the volunteers do a spectacular job organizing and making it a wonderful event to be part of. I look forward to it to continue to grow for many years to come.
Operation-Santa-Cause helped to provide food for a Back to school event at the National Guard Armory (Normandy) because of there support families and children had a great meal enjoyed a wonderful day getting ready to head back to school.
Jeanne and her team of elves truly makes a difference in the lives they touch. The holidays is suppose to be a time of joy and happiness however, when you are down on your luck or away from your family the holidays can be very stressful. Operation Santa Cause helps to put a SMILE back on the faces of those in need. GREAT cause to support!!
Having known the coordinator for some time, it doesn’t surprise me that she and her volunteers have done so well for the military community. Keep up the good work.
These women do a wonderful job of giving back to the military community. As a recipient of their donations, I can say that they really make a difference for our military kids and families!!!
No words to describe what Operation Santa Cause has done for the Community and families! Such a great cause and AMAZING people running It. P
Such a giving organization!! Super fun being a small part of such a selflessness cause to help brighten the day of kids in need.
Great organization to work with. Always nice to go to their events not only is it for a good cause but always a lot of fun
These ladies are the sweetest and make such a huge difference in the military community!! Such an amazing organization!!!
Jeanne fits an outstanding job of collecting and giving toys to children during the Christmas season. She is all heart for Santa cluse.
Every Christmas has been filled with joy! My son has been excited to open his presents on Christmas day. Operation Santa Cause has filled a void in my son's life, and I couldn't be more thankful for what they have done.
They saved Christmas for my kids! I didn’t know that they were so generous until I picked up all those gifts! I was feeling bad about not being able to afford gifts so when I signed up I assumed I would one or two gifts that most kids didn’t want but boy was I pleasantly surprised when they showed up with amazing toys and so many of them too! The big smiles I saw on Christmas morning were because God sent these wonderful angels from Operation Santa Cause to us. Thank you all so much!
My brother was in a horrific car accident on Oct 31, 2020. He was completely immobilized and is still in critical condition. That left his family of 6 kids who he provided for without an income. He was self employed as a barber so with him not working it was not going to be a good Christmas. We are struggling to pay the mortgage and keep the light on so that left no funds for Christmas Gifts. Family Readiness in the Florida NAtional Guard connected me with Operation Santa Cause. My heart was overwhelmed when I saw the gifts they had gotten for the children. I am so grateful for this blessing and my heart is filled with joy to know someone cares. 2020 has been a super tough year for my family but Operation Santa Cause brought a rainbow to our storm. We will be forever grateful for their kindness in our time of need ❤️
I had a great experience. They personalized the toys to your kids age and likes. My daughter is going to be really excited come Christmas Day. And now knowing about operation Santa cause , my family and I will probably be donating next year.
Such an amazing, selfless group. These families sacrifice so much; it's truly wonderful that this group can bring such joy to such deserving families.

These volunteers work tirelessly to ensure each child has a wonderful Christmas memory. These families already sacrifice so much, and often times are not together during the holidays, or cannot afford to provide a Christmas for their children. Operation Santa Cause steps in to ensure these well deserving families don't wake up to an empty tree on Christmas morning.
These volunteers dedicate their hearts, time, and, very often their own money to help others. They are amazing people, and have created a top notch organization!
I was a company commander deployed when I first had the opportunity to work with OSC.
They took care of my Soldiers in such a personal way and I loved the way they worked to preserve the dignity of our Heroes who may not have the luxuries others do.
Thanks!!
Phenomenal Non Profit Organization that makes the Holiday Season so much better for those who are facing some challenges. A big thanks to Jeanne, Bernie, & their team for making such a beautiful difference in so many peoples' lives....THANK YOU for all that you do!! Ernie Cohen

What a great organization to share in the community. Always cheerfully helping the children. Going above and beyond. I recommend that we all contribute to Operation Santa Cause, Inc.
Each year, Operation Santa Cause brings joy to military children in need and brings peace of mind to the military member. A parent may be deployed during the holidays or are having to work long hours outside of their military service to make ends meet. When Operation Santa Cause steps in to say they can help fulfill a child’s wish list, they have been working all year towards these wonderful memories for families. They’ve been fundraising, shopping, organizing, storing, communicating with military units and so much more! They are such a positive and caring organization that I’ve had the honor of working with and I hope they realize the tremendous impact they have made thus far with these families in need.
This is such an amazing organization! The children are so happy about the gifts they may not have gotten without this group! ❤️
I helped with the toys and was blown away by the amount and quality. We completed Christmas wish list not just random toys. They work very hard to pull this off each and every year.
Operation Santa Cause has made a tremendous impact on National Guard families throughout Florida. The team works tirelessly throughout the year to fundraise and collect toys to distribute to Guard families at Christmas. Our family partners with them each year, and we are so thankful for the help this organization provides to families who sacrifice for our state and nation.
This is a great organization run by two very dedicated and caring ladies. They turn the lives of children with National Guard or Goldstar families who are struggling during the holidays into the happiest of kids. I have been helping them collect toys for the past few years and it is a joy and pleasure

Extremely grateful to be able to help the children of the North East Florida National Guard and Gold Star Families for the past 6 years. Providing toys to children at Christmas is a passion. Buying toys keeps you young! Kathleen C/O Founder
As a local resident and business professional, it is great to see other local organizations making a difference within our communities. Since I work in an industry and with a company that strives hard to help out our local veterans, when I see an organization like Operation Santa Cause that helps not only out out our servicemen/women through this awesome platform, how can you not get behind that to help, support, and congratulate them for what they do. This organization exudes the caring and compassionate characters that continue to make them successful year after year.
I have helped them sort toys that have been donated as well as made donations my self and am overwhelmed by the number of gifts that pass along to families in need. This as an amazing non-profit and will continue to make donations and volunteer for such a great cause.

This amazing operation is founded by two dedicated women who want to make a difference in the lives of children and families in need throughout northeast Florida. Please support them and their efforts as the create joyful holiday experiences this year and every year!
I was first introduced to Operation Santa Cause a few years ago. Their mission to help families in need around the holidays really touched a chord with me and my family and I have been honored to help them with a few of their donation drives since then. I have seen the impact that they make in our local community especially with the National Guard families who benefit from the toys that are donated and purchased. I encourage everyone to take a moment and research them and consider helping them reach their goals.
They are awesome at helping out at Christmas time and anytime there is a need for children in need!!
Being a part of this organization is a blessing giving back without any expectations is the most amazing feeling in the world!
This is an amazing organization whose heart is in the right place. If you're looking for a great organization to support during the holidays, Santa Cause is perfect.
