Mission & Vision
Travis County Sheriff's Brown Santa Program was established as a community-based operation to help families in the Travis County area with gifts for children and food for families during the holiday season.
The mission of Travis County Sheriff's Brown Santa Program offers opportunities to volunteer time and funds for the purpose of building a strong sense of family and friends. These positive actions promote a positive relationship with law enforcement and the community it serves.

Brown Santa started in 1981 with a few deputies, out of their own pockets, helping about 25 families in the unincorporated areas of Travis County. This program provides assistance to underprivileged children and their families in Travis County and senior residents of local retirement centers in Travis County. The program has grown throughout the years. We are currently now serving around 2000 families each year.
Each family receives the following items:
* 5 gifts (2 toys, puzzle, stuffed animal and books) for every child 14 and younger in the house. All gifts are wrapped
individually and labeled to the child's first name from Santa.
* Food box (basic essential non-perishable food items).
*$10 gift card to local grocery store.
