Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas! Every year, Tatum Police Department identifies and selects children and families in need and provides them with Christmas gifts and coats as part of their Operation Blue Santa program. Axis Energy Services, with help from vendors including Freemyer Industrial Pressure and HD Hydraulics, is excited to sponsor this year’s Blue Santa program to help provide Christmas gifts and coats to more than 60 kids in the community this holiday season.

“It’s been a tough year for many people,” says Axis CEO Dirk Lee. “We just wanted to do something to help out and put smiles on kids’ faces. Thanks to Police Chief April Rains and Tatum ISD for helping coordinate efforts to provide gifts and coats to these children this Christmas. We’re going to have some happy kids this year!”

Tatum PD provided Axis with a list of toys and coats to buy for the identified children. Tatum ISD was also involved with the police department’s efforts in this year’s Blue Santa program.

Special thanks to our Axis “elves” who donated their time to help shop, organize, and wrap toys at the Axis facility in Longview so they could be delivered to Tatum PD and distributed to the families. Thanks to everyone involved!
