Community organizations are seeking volunteers to help families and children during the 2026 holiday season. The Salvation Army in Beltrami County needs bell ringers at three Bemidji locations, while Owensboro’s Christmas Wish is recruiting helpers to sort donations, organize toys and fulfill children’s wishes during its 50th season. USPS Operation Santa is also asking individuals and groups to adopt letters and send gifts; adopters must verify their identity, and gifts must be shipped by the program’s deadline to arrive before Christmas.

The postal program needs more adopters since demand is high and those kids deserve the help.

Owensboro's Christmas Wish hitting 50 years is something worth supporting with more volunteers this season.
