Los Angeles’s Operation Santa program opens to the public on December 5 and runs through December 14. Potential “elves” can adopt letters Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Individuals, organizations and businesses will be asked to provide valid identification and sign an official Operation Santa organization or individual participation form before accessing letters for adoption. |
