Operation Santa now accepting 'letters to Santa' for those in-need this holiday season

Does your family need a little assistance with holiday cheer this year?

USPS Operation Santa, a 111-year-old program run by the U.S. Postal Service, is now accepting letters from children across the country that may be "adopted" by those who can fulfill the wishlist.

Letters are sent to "Santa’s U.S. satellite workshop," according to the USPS, where personal information is redacted before letters are entered into a portal for individuals who have signed up to be gift-givers.

There is no guarantee your wishlist will be fulfilled as the program "relies solely on the generosity of strangers," according to USPS.
