    Children from a remote Alaskan village hold a thank you sign for Santa, who still managed to safely deliver presents to the students and families during Dec. 2020 and amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Santa to the Villages has been part of Base Kodiak’s holiday tradition since 1974 when a Coast Guard pilot noticed the children in Kodiak’s remote villages had limited opportunities to interact with Santa and receive gifts.
