So many holiday events have been cancelled due to COVID-19, but the hard-working folks at the Aptos La Selva and Central fire districts persuaded Santa to stop in Dec. 3 to help firefighters collect donations for Second Harvest Food Bank.
Captain Brad Piper, firefighter Henry Tobias and firefirefighter/paramedic Rolf Lingens are on duty at the drive-through holiday food drive for Second Harvest Food Bank.
The drive-through event was a big success ━ five full barrels and boxes of food, and $1,260 in monetary donations.
The goal of this year’s holiday food and fund drive is $1.25 million, which would provide 4.5 million meals.
For those who can’t attend events in person, our combined fire districts also have an online fundraising page for Second Harvest, at: give.thefoodbank.org/teams/14641-centralaptos-la-selva-fire-districts
