The Taylor Fire Department and the Taylor Professional Firefighters Association are teaming up to offer the Red Santa Program to ensure Taylor-area children have toys for Christmas and their families have food for a holiday dinner.
Families in need of help this holiday season are encouraged to apply in person from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, and from 9 to 11 a.m. Friday, Oct. 28, at the Fire Department Parking Lot, 304 E. Third St.
Applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis and only on the days listed. Please bring proof of residency, which includes a photocopy of your Driver’s License and a photocopy of a recent utility bill and have time for a short interview with a program manager to determine eligibility. In addition, parents must be available to pick up gifts at 8 a.m. at Station 1, 200 Washburn St., between 8 and 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 24. Please note: Anyone who has received assistance from Red Santa for two consecutive years is not eligible to apply.
