Operation Blue Santa is underway again this year, sponsored by both the Teague Police Department and Fairfield Police Association.
The toy donations collected will benefit local families in need of assistance for their children to have a magical Christmas.
Teague
Collection boxes may be found at Teague businesses. Wrapped or unwrapped gifts may also be dropped off at the Teague Police Department.
Donation boxes will be picked up beginning around noon on December 16, 2020.
