You can help fill Santa’s bag!

Symmes Township, Ohio – Santa and his helpers will make their annual visit through Symmes Township neighborhoods on Saturday, December 5th from 5 until 8:30 PM to spread holiday cheer.  Social distancing guidelines will be implemented.

In the spirit of the giving season, the Township hopes that residents will help Santa refill his bag with new, unwrapped toys or cash gifts for The Dragonfly Foundation.  

Please note that due to COVID The Dragonfly Foundation can only accept items that are in their original packaging.  

For a complete list of items see below.

Anyone interested in making a donation to this worthy organization may give it to Santa or one of his helpers as they travel through the Township. Checks should be made payable to the Dragonfly Foundation.
