How It Began

Sean & Kristina Malone and their son

It all started back in 2013…Sean Malone was a Postal Service employee. Sean lovingly answered children’s letters to Santa just for fun, until he realized there were local families who were living without basic needs. That is when Santa’s Letters was born. Santa’s Letters is a 501(c) (3) that the Malone family started as a way to give back to families in the community. Sean and Kristina Malone saw the big red mailbox on a shopping excursion and immediately knew they had to put it in front of their home as a Letters to Santa official drop-off location! Today, each child/adult who places a letter in the big red mailbox receives a letter back from Santa. In addition to a merry greeting, Santa’s Letters helps those in need, whether it be a warm coat, Christmas dinner, or just an overflowing Christmas stocking under the tree. Helping our community has become our mission.

SANTA'S LETTERS INC. WELCOMES
NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

We are proud to announce the appointment of communication professor Rachel Stohr as its new Executive Director.

With over a decade of experience as a communication scholar, educator, and grassroots organizing advocate, Stohr brings a wealth of expertise to the role. Her background in organizational and relational communication and her lifelong commitment to service shape a leadership style rooted in care, collaboration, and community—making her a strong fit to lead the organization into its next chapter.


“We’re thrilled to welcome Rachel to the Santa’s Letters family, her vision and experience will build on our strong foundation and help guide Santa’s Letters into an exciting new era.” - Sean Malone, Founder of Santa’s Letters. 


As Executive Director, Stohr will focus on growing the organization through strategic partnerships, expanded outreach, and new sponsorship opportunities. One of her priorities is educating the public about often-overlooked needs in the area— needs hidden behind the region’s outward appearance of affluence. By raising awareness, Stohr hopes to foster a broader understanding of the unseen hardships affecting numerous local residents.


She envisions launching quarterly giving campaigns to support ongoing programs and enhance the organization’s visibility throughout Sussex County— particularly north of Bethany Beach. 


Lisa Condon, known as the Head Elf, coordinated the search that led to Stohr’s hire. Although Condon moved out of state last year, she remains committed and involved with Santa’s Letters and its mission. She will work closely with Stohr as the organization enters this exciting new phase.

​

“I’m honored to join an organization deeply rooted in integrity, generosity and connection, Lisa’s dedication has shaped Santa’s Letters into what it is today, and I’m grateful for her support as I step into this role. I’m excited to work alongside Sean and Kristina Malone, our amazing volunteers, and our extremely generous sponsors. Together, we will strengthen the organization’s presence and deepen its day-to-day engagement with the community.” - Rachel Stohr.
