Annual Toy and Food Drive

Santa and Toys

On Saturday December 5, 2020 the Halifax Firefighters Association and Girl Scouts will team up with Santa and Mrs. Claus to collect new unwrapped toys and non-perishable food. Gift certificates are encouraged. All items collected are distributed through the two local Churches and kept in town helping families in need.  Due to Covid, things will look a little different. We will be having a drive-through drop off center at the Town Barn, 60 Hemlock Lane, behind Town Hall, on the day of the event. We will also be parading through the neighborhoods on this day, as in past years, collecting toys/food along the way. We ask items be left curbside to avoid contact. The Union Firefighters of Halifax have partnered with Toys for Tots and are collecting donations too as part of a separate effort. A wonderful nationwide organization but the items collected at the fire station, this year, will not stay in Halifax. If you are unavailable on Saturday or have any questions, please call Christine Markunas at 781-588-4886.  Please look for the street closest to yours for times if your street is not listed. The truck is unable to make it down all the streets in town.  The town website http://halifax-ma.org will have the schedule.
