Santa Claus Girls continue century-old tradition bringing cheer to children in need

Last year, COVID-19 interrupted a tradition that goes back more than a century — the Santa Claus Girls, an organization that works to ensure all children in Kent County, Michigan, have Christmas gifts.

Now, the Santa Claus Girls are back bringing cheer to children in need.

For over 100 years, the Santa Claus girls have had West Michigan's longest Christmas list. On one day this year, they had a line of 6,000 cars belonging to parents of children in need.
