We’re Getting Ready for the 2026 Santa Shop

For more than 65 years, the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop has quietly helped make Christmas possible for children who might otherwise go without.

Since 1959, we’ve provided gifts for children—from infants through age 10—serving families within the Englewood, Sheridan, and Littleton school districts. For many of these children, this isn’t just a gift—it’s the magic of being seen, included, and remembered during the holiday season.

Families are connected to the shop through schools, churches, and local agencies, and each one registers in advance to ensure a welcoming, organized experience. When they arrive, they’re not just receiving help—they’re stepping into a space filled with warmth, dignity, and holiday spirit.

The Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, powered entirely by volunteers and the generosity of this community. Each year, we come together at St. James Presbyterian Church to create something truly special—neighbors helping neighbors, one child at a time.

You Can Help Make the Magic Happen

One of the simplest and most impactful ways to support the shop is through the King Soopers Community Rewards Program. By enrolling, a portion of your everyday grocery purchases goes directly toward helping us provide gifts to local children, at no extra cost to you.
