The Cherokee Indian Hospital Foundation is excited to announce the return of Santa’s special mailbox on Monday, December 2, spreading holiday cheer and magic throughout the community.
From December 2 through December 18, Santa’s mailbox will be stationed in front of Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority’s Primary Care entrance, conveniently located near the outdoor children’s play area. The mailbox will be accessible Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., providing a perfect opportunity for families and children to share their holiday wishes with Santa Claus.
The Foundation warmly invites children of all ages—and those young at heart—to write letters to Santa and drop them into the festive mailbox. To ensure each letter receives a personalized response from Santa, don’t forget to include a return address.
“We’re thrilled to bring this tradition back to the community,” said Brittney Lofthouse, Director of Development & Community Relations at CIHA. “Santa’s mailbox is a magical way for families to connect, celebrate, and create lasting holiday memories.”
For those unable to visit the hospital but eager to participate, the Foundation offers an alternative option. Letters can be mailed directly to the Cherokee Indian Hospital Foundation at: 1 Hospital Drive, Cherokee, NC 28719
“We want to make sure everyone has a chance to join in this festive experience, whether they can visit the hospital or not,” added Lofthouse. “Thanks to the help of Santa’s elves at the Cherokee Indian Hospital Foundation and EBCI Tribal Option, every letter with a return address will receive a personal reply from Santa himself!”
CIHA looks forward to celebrating the season of joy, giving, and community spirit with all who participate. For more information or inquiries, please contact Brittney Lofthouse at Brittney.lofthouse@cherokeehospital.org.
