About Us

Gordon and Ellen Crowell have been serving the Lehigh Valley as Santa and Mrs. Claus since 2017. Our story began when Gordon was elected as a Pennsylvania State Constable and was asked to play Santa for New Bethany. After delivering gifts to families and visiting with the homeless at their Christmas morning breakfast, a mission was born. Gordon and Ellen’s passion for community service and giving back quickly started to grow. Whether it’s filling a wish-list for a single parent who isn’t able to afford Christmas gifts or providing turkeys for hungry families at Thanksgiving, our foundation is seeking to fulfill wishes throughout the year.

Everything we do is designed to meet specific needs of the community and the individual families in need. Together, as one, we rise to protect the most vulnerable and provide for those in desperate needs of basic necessities.

This foundation has a vision of creating a better world – partnering with global and local organizations to widen our reach in releasing more families and communities from poverty.

Our mission

Fulfilling Christmas wishes for the underprivileged all year round.

Our vision

A Christmas wish can create magical moments and lasting memories for everyone. It can build community, strengthen family and deliver joy.

Purpose

Through various contacts, associations and affiliations, our foundation members maintain a pulse on the community and aim to fill the many varied needs of economically disadvantaged people. Through philanthropy, acts of kindness and a touch of Christmas magic, our goal is to not only to fill basic needs but also restore faith in humanity.
