FERNDALE, Wash. — This weekend, December 12th and 13th, Ferndale neighborhoods will again be treated to a visit by Santa during his annual food drive via decorated antique firetrucks and police department vehicles accompanied by Whatcom County Fire District 7 firefighters and Ferndale Police Department officers.
This will be the 4th year Santa and his entourage will be visiting Ferndale neighborhoods to collect curbside non-perishable food items and monetary donations for the Ferndale Food Bank. But, due to COVID-19 state mandates, things will be done a little differently this year organizers say.
This year, organizers say, neighbors will again be able to track Santa’s progress through Ferndale neighborhoods with an online tracker posted on My Ferndale News and the Whatcom Seven Firefighters’ Facebook page. But, unlike prior years, Santa will not be stopping for photos or to hand out candy canes.
Last year, neighbors with grocery bags filled with donations could be seen lining the sidewalks waiting with excitement ahead of Santa and his entourage. The result was 6,631 pounds of donated food delivered to the Ferndale Food Bank.
