2025 Christmas Wishlist is a wrap.

Weeks ago, nearly 100 community sponsors received individual wishlists — each one carrying specific items a senior hoped for, whether something practical or something that would simply bring joy. Sponsors shopped with care, filling large bags with thoughtfully chosen gifts.

Those gifts came together at our wrapping party, where community gathered — laughing, wrapping, and making sure every present was ready for Christmas morning.

That morning began early, with crews sharing coffee and breakfast before heading out.

By the end of the day, nearly 50 public servants and their families had stepped into living rooms, hospital halls, and quiet moments to deliver gifts to 140+ seniors. Many seniors invited their heroes in to visit while gifts were opened. When one senior was unexpectedly in the hospital, a team simply brought Christmas there instead.

This was the journey — from a wish, to a gift, to a moment of connection.
What a good day.
Merry Christmas, and wishing you a peaceful rest of the holidays.

From shopping carts to wrapping tables…
From quiet seniors to full hearts…
This is what community looks like.
Welcome to the SantaCop/ Christmas Wishlist Family to our new sponsors and Heroes.

🌬️ High Wind Warning This Weekend 🌬️ Lower Mat-Su Valley (Big Lake, Wasilla, Palmer)

Here we go again… (I don't think there's even an appropriate emoji for this).

After three weekends in a row, we think it might be time for all of us to officially break up with Windy Wendy. She’s coming back Saturday evening with 30–40 mph winds and gusts up to 60–70 mph — and honestly, she's overextended her stay.

The National Weather Service has issued a High Wind Warning from 6 PM Saturday to Noon Sunday. Strong winds may move loose debris, damage property, and cause power outages.

👉 If you experience a power outage, please report it one of these ways:
• SmartHub: https://mea.smarthub.coop/Login.html

• Outage Line: 907-746-POWR (7697)

Reporting your outage helps us ensure we have accurate, real-time information — especially during widespread events.

📌 Safety Tips:
• Secure loose outdoor items.
• Charge devices in advance.
• Use caution if you must drive, as winds will be strongest Saturday night into early Sunday.

Our crews will be ready to respond. Thank you, stay safe, and let's hope this is it for 2025!

We have more isolated seniors joining the Christmas Wishlist program this week. Some of our past seniors will be spending Christmas with family, and we’ve also had newly aged-in and new-to-Alaska seniors apply for the very first time.

If your workplace is looking for a meaningful team activity this season, consider sponsoring a senior as a group.
It’s a simple way to:
• Build teamwork
• Create connection
• Make a direct impact on someone in your community

We’re matching sponsors through December 5th.
Your team could make all the difference for a senior who would otherwise spend Christmas alone.
