Bob Penkhus Volkswagen - Santa Drives Toy Give Away

Give It Forward has officially launched Santa Drives, a city-wide Christmas delivery initiative designed to make sure no child in Colorado Springs is forgotten during the holidays. Every child deserves to feel seen, valued, and remembered at Christmas. But every year in Colorado Springs, children are left behind through no fault of their own. When a family has no reliable transportation, or a parent is working multiple jobs just to get by, attending a community toy drive simply isn’t possible. The support exists — but they can’t reach it. Santa Drives exists to change that. We deliver toys, clothing, and essential items directly to the homes of families who face the greatest barriers to accessing holiday assistance. We ensure that when a family cannot get to help, help goes to them. Santa Drives is a city-wide network of toy drives across Colorado Springs that mobilizes neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and community groups to collect new gifts for local kids during the holidays. It’s operated by the nonprofit Give It Forward and designed so anyone can host a micro-drive that feeds into one coordinated effort—one brand, one map of drop-sites, one logistics plan, one impact story.

At Bob Penkhus we stepped forward at the very beginning of the program, believing in the mission before it existed at scale. We are happy to provide the transportation foundation that allows Santa Drives to reach children who otherwise have no way to access holiday resources. Our partnership ensures families experiencing hardship are not forgotten during the season.
