Bend Fire Santa Express in Southeast Bend

Santa is trading in his sleigh for a fire engine! Bring your donations to the Santa Express!

The Bend Fire Santa Express is gearing up for another fun year visiting local neighborhoods to collect food, clothing and toys in support of The Salvation Army. On Friday, Dec. 5 Santa will be coming through the Foxborough, Larkspur and Sun Meadow neighborhoods in southeast Bend. 

The Santa Express will begin at the corner of Goldenrod Lane and Brosterhous Road at 6 p.m. and slowly walk the route shown in the attached map. Meet Santa and the crews along the route to provide a donation! Anything and everything helps – even one can of food or a small toy will go a long way to providing a good dinner and a nice gift on Christmas.

Need ideas? Here are current needs provided by The Salvation Army:

• Teen and Pre-Teen Christmas gifts (t-shirts, sweatshirts, bath/body products, gift cards, sports supplies, etc.)

If you need help for this holiday season with food or presents, please call The Salvation Army at 541-389-8888.
