Millcreek Township families can now register for the Millcreek Township Fire Department’s third annual Santa Gift Run, which will send Santa and local firefighters through two township routes to deliver gifts to children.
Registration is open online now and closes November 20. The run is set for December 12, starting at 9 a.m.
Families can register in advance, prepare gifts for their own children and drop them off at the Municipal Building before the event. The two routes will let more families across the township take part.
Wrapped gifts can be dropped off at the Municipal Building on November 30 and December 2. Drop-off hours on both days are 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Every gift a family provides will be delivered, but all of the gifts must fit into one 16″ x 18″ bag. The Fire Department will provide the bags, and each gift should be wrapped securely and labeled with a clear gift tag.
The township has also asked the community to consider donating nonperishable food for a local food bank during gift drop-off hours or anytime until December 2, at the Municipal Building. According to the release, Giving Day will close out the program on Wednesday, December 16.
