Pflugerville Blue Santa is coming to town! Donations now accepted

The Pflugerville Police Department is asking the community to help with Blue Santa, a special operation to ensure that all local children and families can enjoy the spirit of the season. Blue Santa is a joint effort of the Pflugerville Police Department and the citizens of Pflugerville aimed at providing holiday support for families in need.

Blue Santa provides gifts to children from infancy up to 14 years old. While donations for every age are welcome, the program is in the greatest need of gifts for children ages 10-14 and infants up to two years of age.
