EAST WILTON — WMCA’s annual Operation Santa Claus is in full swing, and our elves are working hard to make certain that children in Franklin County have gifts to open on Christmas, who may otherwise go without. This program has been successful entirely on support from our community. We would like to send out a heartfelt thank you everyone who has made donations to support Operation Santa thus far. This includes cash donations, gifts, filling tags from giving tree sites along with the area businesses that set up the trees for WMCA’s Operation Santa Claus along with the volunteers who donate their time.
