Odd Saint Nick

04/01/2026

After much consideration, we have decided that Odd Saint Nick will not be operating this year. We are moving on to a much bigger and more impactful long term project which will come to be known as the B.A.Y. (Baltimore Area Youth) Center for the Arts, and will be starting up in the near future. We just wanted to make everyone aware of this transition now, so any families who were planning on applying to us this holiday season would have ample time to make other arrangements. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the last decade, and we hope that you will continue to support us on our new journey!

Edit: this is not an April Fool’s joke. The timing of this announcement is just a coincidence. But Odd Saint Nick will return in some form down the road.

This Christmas, more parents than ever have reached out to Odd Saint Nick, just hoping for a little Christmas magic for their children, but unfortunately, we currently have way more children than we can handle, and even more in waiting. So I’m sending out this plea, because Santa Claus really needs your help!

If you are able, please consider supporting us. There are a number of ways you can get involved, and every little bit will help us ensure that no child who has come to us goes without a visit from Santa Claus!

You can sign up to sponsor a child or family! Just contact me at 443-799-5374 or email [email protected], and we will provide you with a match that fits your budget!

You can also purchase items from our Amazon wishlist. Each of these items is a gift that one of our children has requested! Just follow this link to purchase, and the items will be sent to us…

At Odd Saint Nick, we’re always looking for new ways to improve our processes and make things more convenient for everyone involved. As such, I have some exciting news for our generous supporters!

This year, we will be adding a new sponsorship system, where we will be adding specific toys and other items from children’s wishlists to larger online wishlists at major retailers like Amazon and Walmart. So anyone who is interested in buying presents for our many children in need can simply follow the links to our wishlists, purchase items, and they will be sent directly to us at our “North Pole Workshop!”

More information coming soon! And a special thank you to all who have believed in our cause and supported our work over the years!

Season’s Greetings everyone! On this Giving Tuesday, I wanted to invite you to support Odd Saint Nick, and help us bring some Christmas magic to many less fortunate children in our area! We’re a local charity that’s operated entirely by volunteers, so when you give to us, you can rest assured that 100% of your donations will go to children in our own community! There are a number of ways you can get involved and join us in spreading some joy this Holiday Season…

All the gifts we provide are custom-bought for each child, right from their own wishlists, so we greatly appreciate monetary donations in any amount! We accept cash, checks, and all forms of electronic payments. Just contact me for more information (see bottom). All donations are tax deductible and we can provide receipts upon request!

If you would like to do the shopping yourself, we’re currently seeking generous individuals who would like to sponsor a child or family this Christmas. Just contact me, and we’ll match you up with a family in need (see bottom).

Lastly, we’re seeking additional volunteers who would like to help us sort and deliver all the presents before Christmas. Contact me for more details.
