Blue Santa in search of elves
Thursday, December 7, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
Operation Blue Santa is looking for help in delivering toys and presents to Austinites next Saturday. According to a press release, a perfect volunteer would have a valid driver’s license, a four-wheeled sleigh and “be willing to be on Blue Santa’s nice list.”
There is no need to sign up in advance, and gifts will be loaded directly into cars at 8 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 16, at all of these four locations:
- Blue Santa Warehouse – 4101 South Industrial Drive, Suite #260
- Green Garage at the Domain – Feathergrass Court next to Dillard’s
- APD East Substation – 812 Springdale Road
- APD South Substation – 404 Ralph Ablanedo Drive
Operation Blue Santa has provided toys and food for families in need for the past 50 years. Last year, the effort provided for 5,000 families and an estimated 17,000 children.
