Toy Drive (& Photos with Santa & a Fire Truck!) at the Mount Hope Farmers Market!

Help the East Bay Food Pantry make Christmas morning bright for every little one!

Santa’ and his best Elf will be visiting the Mt. Hope Farmer’s Market from 10AM - Noon WITH a 1947 fire truck!  With a donation of a new unwrapped toy for the East Bay Food Pantry's 'Christmas for Kids' campaign, your child (or pet--or you for that matter!) can pose for a photo with Santa on the fire truck. (Please bring your own camera!)

Help the East Bay Food Pantry make Christmas morning special for every child! The food pantry serves residents from the East Bay who are food insecure and seeking assistance, currently serving more than 5,000 individuals, with more than 1,500 being children. Last year they met the gift wishes of 375 children, representing those who would not have received a gift otherwise. Help them this year with their goal and spread the holiday warmth and cheer!
