Delivering Joy With A Little Help From Friends

A Christmas story about Waterford Youth and Family Services, with help from first responders and Santa, deliver love to a family in need.

WATERFORD, CT — Waterford Youth and Family Services noted that every family in its holiday program is deserving. But as in past years, one family in particular tugged heart strings.

"All of the families in our holiday program are incredibly deserving but each year one family captures our hearts in a very special way so we planned a surprise delivery with Santa, a Cohanzie fire truck, Mr. Sachs, and SRO Lane. We witnessed smiles and the magic of the holiday season all in one amazing moment.

To all of our donors: Because of you, children and adults throughout Waterford believe in Santa without a doubt in their minds!
