The Georgetown Police Department’s Blue Santa is ready to help Georgetown families that need assistance to make Christmas special this year. Blue Santa provides toys to more than 1,700 children in Georgetown during its annual toy drive and distribution.
Each year, the Georgetown Police Department, department volunteers, citizen volunteers, volunteer groups and businesses work together to hold special events or set up donation barrels to collect toys or monetary donations. Toys are sorted into age-appropriate categories by Blue Santa Workshop Elves and special Christmas boxes are filled for families who apply for assistance.
To apply for assistance or to donate, become a Friend of Blue Santa, hold a toy drive, volunteer, or find barrel locations visit www.bluesanta.georgetown.org. Paper applications are available at the police department. Please contact Sgt. Kaytie Kaminski kaytie.kaminski@georgetown.org; 512-930-0523, or Ofc. Cesar Salinas cesar.salinas@georgetown.org; 512-930-0423. Applications must be received by Monday, Dec. 12th. Pick up will be held on Saturday, Dec. 17th, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at 3500 D.B. Wood Road.
If your family is in need of assistance and you live outside the geographical limits of any town or city within Williamson County that does not already provide a similar program, Williamson County Brown Santa can help you. To apply for assistance, donate, adopt a family or volunteer visit www.wcbrownsanta.com, email help@wcbrownsanta.com, or call/text 737-667-4102. The last day to apply is December 2.
