Field Ops Memo 2010-57: Globe Santa Mailing – Update for Clients Living in Lowell, Lawrence and Haverhill

Globe Santa Mailing
This year’s Globe Santa mailing took place on October 12th and November 15th. The “Boston Globe Santa – Holiday Gift Verification Notice” was sent to active TAFDC, EAEDC, and SNAP clients who live in the Globe Santa geographical area. The mailing included an informational notice about the Globe Santa Program and a verification notice. This verification notice lists the name, date of birth and gender of all children age 12 years or younger. Clients may send the verification notice with their own letter to Globe Santa requesting to participate in the Boston Globe Santa Program.

The mailing in October was sent to families receiving TAFDC, EAEDC, or SNAP benefits. The mailing in November was sent to families approved for TAFDC, EAEDC, or SNAP benefits after the first mailing.

To assist the Globe in verifying the validity of these letters, this year’s Globe Santa letters generated from Schrafft’s were printed on green paper. The envelope was stamped with Santa Claus on the outside so clients may easily identify it.

This Operations Memo is being issued to provide updated information about the Globe Santa mailing to clients living in Lowell, Lawrence and Haverhill.
