Title
Police Department presentation on the City of Pflugerville Blue Santa program.
Summary
This item has been included on the agenda to allow for this presentation by the Pflugerville Police Department.
It's Blue Santa time in Pflugerville! Blue Santa is a joint effort of the Pflugerville Police Department and countless volunteers who sort gifts and canned goods to provide holiday support to Pflugerville families. Together we can help Pflugerville families in need. Blue Santa bins are out at city facilities and more than 20 locations across Pflugerville to collect donations of new unwrapped toys and canned goods. Last year more than 550 children were able to enjoy a better holiday thanks to the Blue Santa program.
Donations can be dropped off at Murchison, Rowe Lane, and Riojas elementary schools. Other locations include Kelly Lane and Park Crest middle schools, PISD Administration offices, Gaddy's Feed, Comerica Bank, Pflugerville Chamber of Commerce, A+ Federal Credit Union, Precision Tune, Toy Time, any Pflugerville Walgreens, Pflugerville City Hall, and the Pflugerville Justice Center. Donations will also be accepted at the city's Holidays at Heritage Park event December 13 and the annual Christmas Parade in Pflugerville on December 14. Look for the Blue Santa Float with the Blue Santa elves around it.
Financial donations should be sent by check or money order to: Pflugerville Blue Santa c/o Pflugerville Police Department P.O. Box 679 Pflugerville, Texas 78691-0679.
