Donate Items

What to donate

Want to donate gifts, but unsure of where to start? The Magic of Christmas visits Calgarians of all ages, from newborns to grandparents. If you need inspiration, please check out or print our Christmas Wish List for ideas.

Please note that all gift donations that arrive at Santa’s workshop must be new, unused and unwrapped. We cannot accept used or worn donations.

Where to donate

Donations can be dropped off at Santa’s workshop between November and December, or at one of our many drop-off locations in December. We normally have over 150 donation drop off locations in every quadrant of the city! Find your nearest drop-off location below, or request a box for your workplace.

Request a donation box for your organization

We invite Calgary’s working force to donate gifts from the comfort of their workspaces. Simply request one or more donation boxes for your organization anytime between November and Christmas Eve. Besides knowing that your gifts will go toward a family in need, this can make for a fun and meaningful initiative for you and your colleagues.

(Please note this is not a donation pick up service for individual households. Business addresses only as personal home addresses will be showing up on our public map)

Please submit a request for a box here or call Santa’s workshop at 403-803-1619.

For business owners/organization coordinators who want to print off more posters, download a digital copy to display around your office.
