Campus Departments Encouraged to Participate in Blue Santa

11/29/2021

Blue Santa returns from a pandemic-affected year, and is seeking donations to assist families in need. Campus units are encouraged to host a collection within their units for children's toys (any age birth-18), and bring their donations in person to Blue Santa's Workshop.

Donations can be dropped off at the workshop in Busch Student Center 251, on Thursday, Dec. 9, anytime between 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Attendees can also enjoy some holiday treats and snap a picture with Blue Santa himself. Individuals may also contribute to the online fundraiser by visiting the donation page.

Donations will be given to local community organizations and shelters, including Catholic Charities, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Mission St. Louis, LifeWise STL, and Gateway 180. Any and all toy donations welcome — toys should be new and unwrapped.

For more information, please contact Bobby Wassel in the Center for Social Action, bobby.wassel@slu.edu or 314-977-2041.
