11/20 Operation Santa Claus - Warehouse Cleanup

November 20, 2021

09:00 AM - 12:00 PM MST

El Paso Platoon

Event overview

Operation Santa Claus (Op Santa), originated at the El Paso Post Newspaper in 1929 and it was named “Handy Santa.” In 1957, Master Sergeant Philip Trout recognized the critical community need and organized the program at Fort Bliss. Due to his military association, he named the program Operation Santa Claus. Today they provide toys to several thousand military and civilian Families.

We will be assisting them with the following tasks:
Nov. 20: Clean Up Warehouse from 0900 to 1200
Dec. 4: Fill bags with toys from 0900 to 1200

Please choose which dates you would like to volunteer for and register for that specific date.

This event is on Fort Bliss and will require volunteers to be signed on to the base if they do not have a military ID. Please contact Bonnie if you have any questions.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
