Operation Santa Claus
36 Years of the Giving Spirit
Operation Santa Claus was jointly established by the South China Morning Post and Radio Television Hong Kong to connect the local community with worthwhile charities. Since 1988, it has brought joy and goodwill, and has raised HK$369 million to support 338 charitable projects.
Before every Christmas, Operation Santa Claus launches a public fundraising campaign to celebrate the season of caring, sharing, and giving to those who may be less fortunate. Through the generosity of our donors and supporters, Operation Santa Claus selects and funds charitable projects that focus on children and youth, the elderly, the community, those with physical and mental disabilities, medical projects, and those concerning the environment.
Please join us in supporting the Hong Kong community during this festive season, by donating to Operation Santa Claus.
