The
United States Postal Service is looking for people who will “fulfill the
holiday wishes of children and families in need.”
The
program, which started 109 years ago, has helped “hundreds of thousands of
children and their families by fulfilling holiday wishes,” according to the
USPS.
Approved
adopters will be able to read through letters to Santa on Nov. 29 and choose
which one they would like to fulfill.
The
full details surrounding the program can be found on the website.
According
to the USPS, letters to Santa began to arrive in post offices more than
a century ago: “In 1912 Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock authorized local
postmasters to allow postal employees and customers to respond to them. This
act of kindness became what is now known as USPS Operation Santa.”
