If you are a family who is able to pay it forward, this may be for you.
The Travis County Sheriff's Office Brown Santa Program is an organization of volunteers who are trying to do a little to help others this Christmas season. We are a non-profit, charitable organization and are registered with the IRS as tax exempt.
Last year, during the 2012 Christmas season, Brown Santa was able to help over 1900 families including over 15,000 children, and expect to assist over 2000 this season. Brown Santa’s primary purpose is to serve families residing outside of the city limits of Austin; however, they will also service within the City. All clients’ needs are validated. Names are checked for duplication and the Christmas Bureau gives each family’s name out only one time.
Each family receives a complete Christmas dinner along with other necessary food items. Each child in the family (infant to 14 years old) is given 1 main new toy, 1 smaller toy, along with a puzzle, 1 book and a stuffed animal from "Santa".
