Every year Clackamas Fire visits local neighborhoods escorting Santa and occasionally Mrs. Claus to greet families and those anticipating the upcoming Christmas holiday. Ops Santa, as it is frequently referred to, is in it's 49th year bringing joy to the community and helping to facilitate the donation and distribution of food and toys to those experiencing a difficult season.
There are three remaining drop-off events where those that wish to donate can bring toys and food:
-Saturday, December 9th, 12pm-5pm, Sandy Fire Station #71 (17460 Bruns Ave., Sandy, OR).
-Saturday, December 9th, 12pm-5pm, Boring Fire Station #14 (28655 SE Hwy 212, Boring, OR).
-Sunday, December 10th, 12pm-5pm, Milwaukie Farmer's Market parking lot (10749 SE Main St. Milwaukie, OR).
There are also two more neighborhood parades taking place:
-December 7th, 6pm, in Milwaukie, OR.
-December 8th, 6pm, in Sandy, OR.
This year Santa is back on top of an antique fire engine in hopes to see and greet all those that attend the parades!
