BROWN SANTA is a community service program of the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, and the many sponsors and volunteers (like you) who make it happen each year.
Brown Santa started in 1981 with a few deputies helping about 25 families in the unincorporated areas of Travis County. Brown Santa helped 1957 families in the 2011 season for a total of 19,219 men, women and children and expects to do the same for the 2012 season.
