Letter to The Focus: Visit USPS Operation Santa to Adopt or Write a Letter to Santa in Knoxville

The holidays are about looking out for one another — and in Knoxville, the Postal Service is proud to help. Alongside recent transformation efforts to strengthen day-to-day delivery, we invite neighbors to visit USPS Operation Santa at USPSOperationSanta.com and adopt real letters to Santa from individuals and families.

This year, please consider choosing family letters — a meaningful way to help an entire household at once. You can explore Santa’s Gift Shoppe, our expanded online catalog, to find thoughtful items families have requested and fulfill them easily from the comfort of home.

If you’re mailing gifts to you family and friends, please plan ahead: check recommended ship-by dates at usps.com/holidayshippingdates, confirm addresses using our ZIP Code Lookup tool at usps.com/zip-code-lookup, and pick the service that fits your timing — USPS Ground Advantage, Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express. You can also print labels and schedule free carrier pickup at usps.com.

To make holiday sending easier, select Post Office locations will offer extended retail hours and prioritized morning parcel delivery. Thank you, Knoxville for supporting your neighbors and trusting the Postal Service this holiday season.

Sincerely,

Stephen Cole

Postmaster-Officer In Charge (OIC), Knoxville Post Offices
