Santa Claus Is Coming to Grundy County

is a community-focused nonprofit dedicated to creating positive connections between children, first responders, and families throughout Grundy County. Through some of the area’s largest family-centered events—including our annual Touch-A-Truck, Evening with Santa, and First Responder Santa Claus Neighborhood Parades—we bring joy, build trust, and celebrate those who serve our community. Beyond events, we proudly give back by supporting local families and organizations in need and investing in the future through our First Responder Scholarship Program, awarding over $10,000 in scholarships over the past three years. Our work is rooted in spreading joy, strengthening community bonds, and reminding every child that first responders are friends they can always turn to.

Our Mission
To create positive connections between our children and first responders, and to give back to our community by assisting local organizations and families in need through fundraising events, donations, services, and meaningful experiences that only Santa can help make come true throughout the year.

 

Our Vision

A community where children know they can go to a first responder—locally and beyond—for help, support, or friendship, and where joy, happiness, and the thrill of surprise help make needs and dreams come true.
