Creating Smiles
Bringing Joy to Military Families
Our Mission
Santa's Workshop at The Great Place is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing joy to children ages 1 month to 16 years in the Fort Hood military community during the holiday season. We focus on supporting active-duty military families facing financial challenges. Operating solely on volunteers, we have a record of serving over 2000 children in 2023. Join us in making a difference in the lives of military families!
"Everyone is so nice and helpful
have been going with you guys for 3-4 years now, and it helps at Christmas time. It takes away some stress. Plus, the summer event, my kids always have a blast going to!"

Y'all were welcoming and patient with my super energetic toddler who kept running around. We loved story time with Santa and the young children helping out were nice and even gave him a temporary tattoo too. Also 2 helpful ladies helped when it was our turn for the free gifts and to take it all the way to our car for us. Helped a ton and super thankful
