Helping hands and holiday cheer! 🎅✨

The City of Downey’s Operation Santa was a massive success, and it’s all thanks to the incredible power of community! Seeing our city come together so as many children as possible have smiles on their face this season is what the holidays are truly about.

This wasn’t just one group—it was a true collaborative effort:

Thanks to our Fire Department, Public Works Department, Parks and Recreation and PTA Helps for their tireless logistics and heart.

Thanks to the dedicated city staff like Fire Department Admin. Assistant Christy Hedden and volunteers who spent countless hours organizing.

Local businesses and residents who stepped up with incredibly generous donations.

From the toy drives to the gift wrapping, every hand helped make this possible. Thank you, Downey, for proving that when we work together, we can make magic happen for our neighbors! 🎁❤️
