Northampton Volunteer Fire Department will be having its annual Santa Run noon Dec. 12.

Borough residents can drop off a wrapped gift (no larger than a shoe box, please) at the station, 4 Lerchenmiller Drive, 6-8 p.m. Dec. 9, 10 and 11. The gift must have the child’s name, address and phone number on it.

Santa, riding in a fire truck, will deliver the gift.

Did you ever wonder what happens at Christmas to less fortunate children in our community? If you would like to contribute toward gifts for kids in our community who would normally go without seeing presents on Christmas morning, contact Quota of Northampton.

Club members are again accepting contributions of either new, unwrapped gifts of your own choosing or a financial donation for the club’s “elves” to shop with.

Last year, the club helped more than 50 children in the Northampton Area School District have a wonderful holiday through the generous donations of individuals and local businesses.

If you want to contribute, call Kelly at 610-262-7826 or email Marian at marjer8@gmail.com.
