Santa's Castle

Santa's Castle, the beloved program that brings holiday cheer to military families, is calling on our amazing community members to help make it even more special by donating new unwrapped toys to any of our drop locations around Gig Harbor! Santa’s Castle distributes toys and gifts to Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reserve families. Recipients are chosen by chaplains and commanders, giving them emotional and financial relief around the holidays. Together, we can create a magical holiday experience for our military community.

In 2025, 220 elves volunteered at Santa's Castle and served 5,396 children from 2,422 military families.
