Robberies at Santa Claus, Inc. Takes Away from the Essential Needs of Children

Santa Claus, Inc., at age 67, is one of the most important organizations helping over 100,000 children living in dire circumstances throughout the Inland Empire each year. It was particularly upsetting to find out that this great children’s nonprofit was robbed once again recently. Not once, but twice in the same week. The criminals took the trailer that was used almost every week to pick up all of the wonderful things from our Amazon partners throughout the Inland Empire.  Then, in the second robbery they stole the toys that were being processed.

Not only will these robberies make it a lot more difficult for Santa Claus, Inc. to make donation pickups, it's going to have a direct effect on how many donated essential need items we can collect to help underprivileged children. Santa Claus, Inc. is in desperate need of a box truck with a lift gate. This is an urgent situation that must be solved as soon as possible. We hope the robbers who keep singling out a charity that gives so much to poor children will figure out the potential damage they have caused to children throughout our local communities.

Santa Claus, Inc. is open to ideas and/or contacts who might be able to help with this very difficult situation. To help Santa Claus, Inc. please call 909-885-0090 or e-mail karen.dicarlo@santaclausinc.com.
