The Green Santa Drive-Thru Toy Drive Sponsored by the Lakeway Police Department Exceeded Expectations!
A little cold and rain couldn't stop the Lakeway Police Department and the Lakeway community from donating toys, books and cash for the children in Lake Travis that may receive little or no toys this year.
Lakeway Police Department, Detective Mary Proctor had the vision for this Green Santa giving event which was held outdoors so all could practice social distancing. We had a surprise donation from Hellas Construction, Inc., a sports construction contractor, that provided over $1000 worth of sports toys and other toys for the Lake Travis children living at or below the poverty level.
Four members of the Lake Travis Baseball Team were also collecting donations to help their neighbors.
This event filled over 2 SUV full of toys and raised $280 dollars in cash donations for the LTlov Green Santa Program.
Green Santa is on the Way!
With the holidays just a few weeks away, we would like to remind you that many Lake Travis families could use a little help from the rest of us.
So many of our neighbors are struggling financially due to the pandemic this year and it will be very hard for them to give their kids gifts. This is where you can step in and be a “Neighbor Helping Neighbors”.
Applications for Gift Boxes will be accepted beginning Sunday, November 1st through Tuesday December 1st.
