Santa’s
Helper 2011 is set to begin soon! The Orange Volunteer
Fire Department Auxiliary wants you to share in the fun
and excitement of this very special, high anticipated
program.
Santa’s Helper is a wonderful, fun-filled fund raising
event, that has for the past 16 years, delivered gifts,
smiles and joy to thousands of homes throughout Orange.
Everyone looks forward with great anticipation to seeing
the Fire Trucks coming down their street, lights and
sirens, with Santa on board, leading the way. His truck
full of gifts, his helpers and Elves visit with each
family while delivering their gifts and cheer!
If you want to join in the fun and excitement and have
one of the Santa teams arrive at your front door, it’s
easy. Just follow the simple steps and soon, you’ll be
hearing lights, sirens and Ho Ho Ho, coming down your
street.
Gift Drop-Off Day is: Saturday, November 19th, at Fire
Station #2, 355 Boston Post Road, 10:30 - 3:00 p.m.
(approximate ending time as we tend to fill up all our
available spots earlier). Please bring the gifts you
would like to be delivered to your loved ones to that
location on that day. Each gift must be wrapped in
holiday paper with an over-wrap of plain brown paper.
The recipients name and address must be clearly printed
on the outside. There is a small fee of $12.00 per gift,
per household. The Fire Department is limited to deliver
to 160 households. This is an extremely popular event,
and those spots fill up very quickly. You are strongly
encouraged to do your best to make it to drop-off day
early, as we tend to fill up all of our spots after only
a few hours.
Santa’s Helper Delivery takes place on Sunday, December
18th, from 3 - 9 p.m. Santa on his fire truck with his
Elves and special helpers will arrive at your home to
deliver gifts back to your loved ones, and spend some
time with your family for photos and smiles. All
proceeds from this event benefit the Orange Volunteer
Fire Department and is used towards the purchase of
rescue and fire equipment.
If you have any questions, you can email Elf Mama at:
ofdsantashelper@aol.com. She will help you via email.
Please do not call the Fire Stations as it’s a volunteer
department and there will not be anyone there to assist
you with Santa’s Helper.
**Emailing Santa’s Helper does not guarantee you a spot
on the delivery route. Sign up occurs on gift drop-off
day and is on a first come, first serve basis.
