Saturday marked ‘Delivery Day’ for 880 CHED Santas Anonymous.
For weeks, the organization has collected toys, books, and monetary donations to ensure every child receives a gift this holiday season.
More than two thousand Edmontonians signed up this year, volunteering to get gifts out the door and make sure roughly 20,000 kids are accommodated for.

“Turnout this morning has been incredible. We have about 200 porters in the building right now gathering up the bags to bring them out to the nearly 1,100 delivery drivers we’ll see throughout the day,” 880 CHED Santas Anonymous Executive Director Angel Benedict said.
