Samaritan Center held a Toy Drive for Brown Santa, and "Sunny Samaritans" spent the morning wrapping toys and gifts for kids in our community. Travis County Sheriff's Office does such a great job bringing the community together for this awesome program every year. After supporting the hard-working employees from the Sheriff's Office this year through the POWR Program, the Sheriff's Office fueled our spirits with an opportunity to give back to our community. A full circle of giving! We value our partnership with TCSO! We ended the day with a Holiday Luncheon at Pappasito's Cantina , where the food and service were excellent.
