LEO Santa

Bringing compassion, joy, and love to children and families in upstate South Carolina

LEO Santa is a consortium of first responders who volunteer their off-duty time to serve families with gifts donated by members of the upstate community. Through our annual toy drive mission - Santa's Heroes - and our fire displacement program - Reignite Hope - we serve low-income areas and emergency circumstances by partnering with first response agencies, schools, and community/faith-based organizations to spread joy.

“I find great comfort in volunteering my time each year to LEO Santa knowing we fill the gap and bring joy and comfort to the children and family members in our communities. LEO Santa provides a great level of emotional and personal support to struggling parents, grandparents, and caretakers of children along with bridging the social gaps between first responders and individuals.”
