BECAUSE EVERY
Military Child
Deserves Christmas
Magic

Every Christmas, Santa's Castle proudly serves the children of Fort Benning by putting new toys under the tree for military families facing financial hardship during the holiday season. It's our way of honoring the sacrifices our Soldiers and their families make every single day.

Santa's Castle was created in 1986 with a simple mission: no child of a Fort Benning Soldier should go without a gift on Christmas morning. What started as a response to real need in our military community has grown into a beloved holiday tradition, bringing joy to families during a season that should be about celebration, not stress.

Santa's Castle is a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. There are no salaries, no overhead skimmed off the top — just dedicated volunteers and generous donors who give their time, resources, and hearts to make sure every child receives a gift. The Castle exists because our community shows up for our military heroes, year after year.

We accept donations year-round and are always in need of toys and monetary contributions. Whether you're an individual, a family, a military unit, a small business, a civic organization, or a corporation — your generosity makes a direct impact on a child's Christmas morning.
