In just two weeks, the group has received more than 400 nominations and delivered more than 124 gifts to various people throughout Milton.
Co-founder Kay Loforte told CBC News that the idea came to her as she was volunteering with a friend making gift baskets and was reminded of the amount of people who sent her meals and other gifts when she suffered a broken ankle.
After cashing in some reward points and receiving unsolicited donations, The Milton Elf began delivering gifts and leaving stockings and lottery tickets on doors and car windows.
"We want the whole community to feel loved," said Loforte.
The movement became so popular that Loforte and Clark-West were forced to close nominations as of Dec. 19 in order to see to it that the over 400 that they had already received could be fulfilled.
