As of 2023, Macy’s no longer has a “Letters to Santa Claus” mailbox at their locations. Macy’s has raised more than 142 million dollars since the campaign began in 2003 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The program consisted of Macy’s donating $1 to Make-A-Wish for every letter to Santa Claus received at the mailboxes. We at Oakland County Moms thank Macy’s for their years of service to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Macy’s is currently embracing another deserving organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters. Please consider making a donation here.
