October 31, 2025 (Blue Santa Form) - The Center Police Department's Blue Santa program is getting ready to load the sleigh and needs your help. Blue Santa is asking for donations of new toys, books, or clothes for all ages infant - 13. Monetary donations are also welcomed, and can be given in the form of cash, or check, mailed to 1020 Shelbyville St Center, Texas 75935 or through PayPal @BlueSantaCPD or CashApp $CPDOperBlueSanta (please leave a note explaining the money sent).
Toy request forms will be ready to be picked up starting November 1st. If you know of any child in Shelby County that may not have any Santa this Christmas, please have their parent/guardian fill out a form (Click to download). One form for each child and turn back into the Center Police Department, Shelby County Today, or The Light & Champion. This form will need to be returned to the PD no later than Monday, December 8, 2025. Any form turned in after the due date will NOT be accepted. This ensures us plenty of time to get all the toys we will need. Proof of Address/ID will be required to pick up your donations this year.
Forms or Monetary donations can also be mailed to OPERATION BLUE SANTA at 1020 Shelbyville St. Center, Texas 75935. If you would like to donate new toys, clothing, hygiene items please bring them to the Center Police Department. Items for boys and girls ages infant to 13yrs old will be needed. The entire Blue Santa team would like to thank everyone for your generous donation to the Blue Santa program. With your donation and others like yours, we will be able to provide Christmas to many children in Shelby County. Again, thank you, we cannot do it without you! Together we can make a child's Christmas be blessed.
Don't forget our BIG Toy Drive, bring in a toy to donate, and be entered into our raffle for a 32 in TV and a Christmas goody basket, and a $100 Ivan Smith Furniture Gift Card.
