Santas Without Chimneys
Working since 2012 to bring holiday gifts to hundreds of homeless/highly mobile children and teens in the Madison, WI area each year!
In Dane County, there are more than 1,500 children sleeping without permanent shelter every night. Not all of them are literally on the streets: many live doubled-up in apartments they could be kicked out of at any time, or in motel rooms provided by domestic violence services, or hide from the weather in cars or tents. This is the population we serve: children who go to sleep hungry and dream of

MEGA THANK YOU to Randy & Dan! ๐โค๏ธ
We are so grateful to Randy and Dan for making it possible for Santas Without Chimneys to use space at the former Oscar Mayer office complex. Having access to such a large space made a huge differenceโour volunteers were able to work more easily, stay organized, and be far more efficient as we prepared gifts for kids in our community.
Randy and Dan are the co-developers of OM Station, and we truly appreciate their generosity and support.

This was sent to us shortly after deliveries were done. It's for everyone.....
"I want to express my deepest gratitude for the toys donated to my children. As a mother, words cannot adequately describe the joy and emotion I feel knowing that, thanks to this loving and compassionate gesture, they will be able to experience a happy Christmas, filled with excitement and hope. These noble acts not only brighten children's smiles but also warm the hearts of those who, like me, strive every day to provide them with the best. Thank you for bringing joy, love, and hope to our homes during this special time of year." ๐โจ
Both needs are met. Two bramd new items for our kids! Thank you so much for the generosity โก
We are on the search for a gently used MacBook for one of our scholarly kids. Also in need of a gently used switch for the family. If anyone has one they dont mind passing along please let us know. โก
Update: we have the switch!
Santa is going to make the call now. With the rain and then dropping temps we think the roads might get a little dicey this evening. So we will be closing around 4pm so our elves stay safe!
Thank you!
We are very much in need of gloves. Any and all sizes. We are running out!
Shutting down for the night! Sunday December 14th.
