Mat-Su Special Santa Program 2025

November 1, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - December 20, 2025 @ 12:00 pm AKDT

Applications Available from Nov. 1st – Dec 12th
Final days to apply and pick up gifts Dec 19th and 20th
See website for application and details on when to pick up.

The Mat-Su Special Santa program was founded in 1997 and has helped over 50,000 Mat-Su children from newborns to age 18 with Christmas gifts. We are a program of Alaska Family Services, a 501c3 Non-Profit, and a partner with the Toys 4 Tots program.

Our goal is to help spread joy and the magic of Christmas by providing families in need with Christmas presents for their children as well as bringing the community together with volunteer opportunities in the workshop and fundraising events.

We wish you a very happy Holiday Season!
