At Santa's Workshop, we are dedicated to bringing smiles to military children by providing them with the latest and most popular toys. Our Toy Buyers monitor trends to ensure we get the toys kids dream of. We accept donations of new toys, books, board games, and monetary gifts year-round. Your support helps us stock over 100,000 toys, 3,600 books, and 3,600 games annually, making a significant impact on the lives of these children.

Donation
The success of Santa's Workshop relies on the incredible generosity of the military community and support from individuals, organizations, and businesses in Central Texas. Each year, we aim to provide gifts valued at approximately $42 per child, though the joy these gifts bring is immeasurable. Please consider donating and helping us continue our mission to make the holiday season magical for military families.
