Event Description:
It’s time for the 2025 WFD Santa Parade and W.H.I.P drive-by food collection!
Our local food pantry, W.H.I.P. (Washington Helps Its People), continues to see record demand this year. The need in our community is higher than ever.
During the 2025 Santa Parade, we’ll once again be collecting non-perishable food items as we make our way through town. If you’re able to help, you can place your donation in the trailer following at the end of the parade.
If you can’t give the night of the parade, W.H.I.P. accepts donations during their regular drop-off hours, and we also have a collection container at the front door of the fire station for anyone who wants to swing by.
Your generosity makes a real difference. Thank you for helping us support our neighbors and ensure no one goes hungry this holiday season.
Parade route will be updated soon!
