The Christmas Bureau of Palo Alto celebrates over 65 years of channeling donations from those who wish to give to those less fortunate in the Palo Alto, California community. The Bureau accepts confidential referrals of individuals and families in need from social service agencies, schools, and other community agencies.  The all volunteer staff eliminates duplications by serving as a central clearing house. The Bureau mails a holiday greeting with a check to referred individuals who reside in the City of Palo Alto or to referred families whose children attend Palo Alto Unified School District
