The holiday season is a time for giving, and the Kendall County Blue Santa Toy Drive is your opportunity to make a difference in the lives of local children. There’s plenty of time to bring joy to families in need and ensure every child has a magical Christmas morning.
What is the Blue Santa Toy Drive?
The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Boerne Police Department and Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department, organizes the annual Blue Santa Toy Drive to provide Christmas gifts to children who might otherwise go without. This year, the drive is partnering with community organizations and local businesses, including Hill Country Family Services, Boerne ISD, The GVTC Foundation, and Cavender Cares, to make the season brighter for families across Kendall County.
The toy drive helps approximately 450 children a year thanks to generous donations from the community. This year, the goal is to bring smiles to even more young faces.
