 Austin Police Operation Blue Santa is a 501(c)(3) – non-profit, community based corporation, organized by the Austin Police Department, with support from the Austin Fire Department, Austin Energy, Austin Water Utilities and Texas National Guard. Each year we provide each family we serve with a full holiday meal and wrapped Christmas gifts for each child under age 14. Our service to citizens of Austin began back in 1972 serving about 20 families, this year we served over 4,500 families and 1,500 Adoptions. This is only possible because of the goodwill and big hearts of Austin’s citizens, businesses, and civic groups that support us each year.

 

Thank you Austin for another great Blue Santa Holiday Season!

Also a big thanks to our sponsors for making it all possible. See our list of this year's sponsors here.

Austin Police Operation Blue Santa was started over 45 years ago by four officers within the Austin Police Department who saw a need to provide assistance to, and share Christmas experience with, the less fortunate residents of Austin.  The first year, 20 children were provided gifts.  Today, Austin Police Operation Blue Santa is a non-profit organization comprised of Austin Police Department, Austin Water, Austin Energy, Austin Independent School District, & the Texas National Guard.  Their goal is to serve approximately 5,000  Austin families this year, which is about 20,000 children.   CLICK HERE TO VIEW VIDEO POSTING BY ROSIE LUJAN
