Blue Santa, a relative of St. Nick, spends his time collecting gifts donated by SLU staff, faculty and students in the weeks leading up to the holiday to help make the season more joyful for kids across St. Louis.

All collected or purchased items will be distributed through our partnering nonprofit organizations, including Community Women Against Hardship, Seeds of Empowerment STL, and Christian Activity Center.

A list of items to donate can be found online.

Items that are collected can be dropped at the designated locations on campus. Items can be donated at any time at the Center for Social Action (Center for Global Citizenship Room 134)

There also will be two on-site drop-off days that will feature cookies, hot chocolate, and a special photo opportunity with Blue Santa.

Virtual contributions will open on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024, and remain active until Tuesday, Dec. 10.
