Kathy McCain, president of Blue Santa, said this yearâs numbers were 230 families, or 540 children.
During the distribution, each child typically receives a large toy and a small item, such as coloring books, crayons or stuffed animals.
âWe have a lot of kids ask for art type items,â McCain said. âWe had some nice paint kits we put together this year.â
Each family also receives a board game for the children to share and enjoy.
âThereâs typically close to $25 to $35 (worth) of gifts for each child,â McCain said.
Blue Santa began in 1999 and serves children in need in Copperas Cove and Pidcoke.
