The Austin Police Operation Blue Santa needs volunteers to join in the fun of delivering packages to families and children starting at 8 a.m. Saturday, December 16, 2017

There is no need to sign up ahead of time. Those wishing to volunteer can simply arrive at the Austin Police Operation Blue Santa headquarters located at 4101 South Industrial Drive, Suite 260 that morning and let Blue Santa personnel know how many deliveries they’d like to make.

Dec. 20, 2014: Schlotzky’s delivery drivers helping out. 

Packages will be loaded into vehicles and delivery addresses will be provided. This event will occur regardless of the weather.
 
We also need volunteers to deliver packages at the secondary sites on the same day:

Those going to the substations are asked to proceed to the main Austin Police Operation Blue Santa warehouse after the secondary deliveries are completed as several thousand deliveries will occur at the main warehouse.

Austin Police Operation Blue Santa is a charitable outreach effort created in 1972 by two APD patrol officers who realized that some families in their area would not have gifts or food for their children at Christmas. The distribution began with 20 families from the back of a patrol car.

Today, Austin Police Operation Blue Santa serves more than 6,000 families with 14,400 children receiving gifts during the holiday season.
