Jim Rielly Santa House

A project of the James D. Rielly Foundation, the Jim Rielly Santa House™ located in Bristol Rhode Island, is a family-friendly holiday destination full of joy, whimsy, and nostalgia, where the season comes alive through interactive experiences, live performances, and Hallmark-worthy moments.

The Santa House fosters the magic of Christmas for children with special needs and their families. We provide immersive holiday experiences free of charge through community partnerships. Our volunteer-run organization strives to create cherished memories, spread holiday cheer, support our community, and promote goodwill and giving.

VISION

The Santa House envisions a welcoming place where children of all abilities can experience the wonder of the holidays. We see a space for children with special needs and their families to make treasured memories, sharing wishes with Santa Claus regardless of any physical, mental, or financial challenges. We see the Santa House becoming a yearly destination, generating incremental revenue for businesses through enhanced tourism.

Bristol Santa House mission is to provide unique place for children of all ages and abilities.

The Santa House is available to other charities and community organizations focused on helping families and children in need.

We believe the Santa House will create cherished and lasting memories for families and children by providing an immersive Christmas experience. The goal is for the Santa House to become a yearly destination, generating incremental revenue for businesses through enhanced tourism.
