Operation Santa Claus 2025 has officially wrapped. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we served 113 recipients, distributed more than 250 gifts, and provided 28 full holiday meal food boxes.

The need was great, but our community was greater. We are deeply grateful to our program sponsors and the many individual donors who make this program possible year after year. Your support brought joy and hope to families throughout our community this holiday season.

We are saddened to recently learn of the passing of our former board member, Judy Miller, in March of this year. Judy was a dedicated, generous, and hardworking member of our board whose years of volunteerism continued through 2023 with our holiday wreath program. We were deeply grateful for her commitment and service, and she will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.

❄️ Ugly Sweater Bingo Postponed ❄️

Due to the winter storm and the unsettled weather pattern expected throughout the afternoon and evening, we have decided to postpone our Ugly Sweater Bingo event. This decision is not easy, but the safety of everyone involved is our top priority, especially given that several of our volunteers and participants are traveling over 40 minutes to help make this event happen.

✨ New Date: Sunday, December 28th
Final time details will be shared later this week!

If the 28th doesn’t work for you, we’re happy to offer tickets to our St. Patrick’s Day Bingo on Sunday, March 15, 2026, instead.

Thank you so much for your understanding. Please stay safe and warm today! 💙⛄️

🎁✨ Black Friday with a Purpose!✨🎁

As you snag those amazing Black Friday deals, consider adding one more item to your cart — a gift for an Operation Santa Claus recipient! ❤️

Your generosity can bring joy, warmth, and hope to community members in need this holiday season. Even a small gift can make a big difference in someone’s Christmas.

🛍️ Shop smart. Give big. Spread kindness.
Let’s turn Black Friday into a day of giving! 🎅🌟

The holidays can be especially difficult for adults living with severe and persistent mental illness. One of the greatest challenges they face is the isolation that can separate them from the people they love. Many find themselves spending the season alone, with no gifts to open or celebrations to share.

Mental Health America of Hendricks County is committed to reminding our consumers that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten this holiday season. You can help make this possible by purchasing a gift for someone in our programs.

We’ve created a holiday wish list based on the needs and wants of the individuals we serve. When you purchase an item from the list, it will be shipped directly to Mental Health America of Hendricks County. Our team will wrap every gift and ensure it is personally delivered.

You can view the wish list here:

Thank you for helping us bring comfort, connection, and joy to our community members this holiday season.
