Green Santas in Paris La Défense, November 12, 2026, through January 5, 2027
That’s it—Christmas is taking over Paris La Défense! And when we think of the magic of Christmas, we think of acts of kindness—and here, we’d like to tell you about the Green Santas. They’re looking forward to seeing many of you at the Espace Info Paris La Défense from Thursday, November 12, 2026, through Tuesday, January 5, 2027. This initiative, launched by Secours Populaire Français, aims to deliver gifts to families in need.
If you want to take action to bring joy to underprivileged children, the Green Santas initiative is a great way to make a difference! Would you like us to explain it all to you?
How about playing Santa this year?
Have you ever dreamed of being the one who spreads joy and gives out gifts? Joining the Green Santas is a way to make that dream come true! Their mission is simple and open to everyone: collect as many toys as possible to distribute to underprivileged families. To take part in this initiative, simply go to the Espace Info Paris La Défense to drop off your donation. For this initiative, the Green Santas only accept toys in like-new condition. Once you’ve made your donation, volunteers will stow them safely in Red Santa’s sack before distributing them to children and families in need, so they, too, can experience a magical Christmas!
50 Years of Christmas Charity
Secours Populaire Français works every day and steps up its efforts during the holiday season to ensure that everyone can enjoy the magic of Christmas. For 50 years, the organization and its volunteers have been working to make this initiative a yearly tradition. Because while for many, Christmas is synonymous with happiness, family, and warmth, this is not the case for everyone. In 2025, the Secours Populaire des Hauts-de-Seine donated more than 420 toys to children. Buying a toy means bringing joy to a family in need. And you, too, can get involved!
