🎄 All Hands Helping Santa: A Tradition of Giving Back
December 2023
At All Hands Vending, we want our business to go beyond profit—it should make a difference in peoples lives. That belief is what sparked the creation of All Hands Helping Santa, a name fondly created by business owner and mother Theresa Willis. Our holiday initiative was designed to bring joy, comfort, and hope to families who need it most.
A Mission Rooted in Kindness
All Hands Helping Santa was born out of a simple question: “What can we do to give back in a meaningful way?” As a team, we realized that while we serve businesses all year long, the holiday season gives us a unique opportunity to serve our community in a deeper way.
And so, the mission began.
Delivering More Than Gifts
In our first official year, over 150 Christmas presents were delivered to five local families. From dolls and toy trucks to warm winter clothing and surprise gift cards, each package was hand-selected and wrapped with care by our team and supporters but delivered by Santa.
But it wasn’t just about the presents.
It was about creating memories—moments of joy and laughter for kids who didn’t expect Santa to find their house. It was about relieving stress for parents who feared they couldn’t provide a holiday celebration. And most of all, it was about reminding families that they are seen, valued, and supported.
Powered by Our Team and Community
What makes this initiative so powerful is the collective spirit behind it. Everyone at All Hands Vending—from our leadership to our clients—pitched in with donations, time, and heart.
By coming together, we proved something simple but profound: a small team with big intentions can make a real difference.
A Legacy of Joy and Hope
The impact of All Hands Helping Santa doesn’t end when the decorations come down. It carries forward in the stories we helped create and the connections we deepened within our community. It’s a reminder that generosity isn’t seasonal—it’s a year-round mindset.
As we grow, so will this tradition. We’re committed to reaching more families, delivering more smiles, and building a legacy of kindness that reflects the values we live by every day.
