Operation Santa Claus is a volunteer organization of Fort Riley Soldiers working to donate toys to families on post in need during the holiday season. Each child goes home with two toys, a book, family puzzle or game and a stocking.
According to OSC representatives their headquarters where toy donations will be accepted will be in Building 5306 on Fort Riley and their hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Participants can sign up with their chain of command as long as your rank is E-5 or below with children and have a financial need. Last year more than 500 families were served and organizers hope to do the same or more this year. Toys are needed for youth ranging from infants up to the age of 18. Monetary donations are accepted.
Volunteers for the program can sign up at the Operation Santa Claus facebook page.
