Offering Hope and Joy to Families Through Santa Sacks  

UFirst and the Granite Education Foundation

Santa Sack

Giving back to our community is at the heart of everything we do, especially during the holiday season. We’re proud to support the Granite Education Foundation through their impactful Santa Sacks program.  

Addressing Needs in Our Community 

The need in our community is real and urgent. According to the Granite Education Foundation, 47% of students struggle with food insecurity, and over 1,500 children experience homelessness. These children face immense challenges, but the Santa Sacks program offers them hope and joy during a difficult time of year. 

What Are Santa Sacks? 

Santa Sacks are filled with essentials such as hygiene items, warm winter clothing, and outdoor gear. But the program goes beyond basic needs, adding comfort items like cozy blankets, stuffed animals, fun toys, and games. For some children, these thoughtful gifts are the only presents they receive for Christmas. 

Our Commitment to Giving 

Every year, our UFirst family donates over 1,500 items to help make the holidays brighter for kids in need. These contributions reflect the generosity and compassion of our team, and we couldn’t be prouder to partner with the Granite Education Foundation on this meaningful initiative. 

We wish a happy winter season to everyone, everywhere.
