The Blackfalds Fire Department Santa Run is happening Wednesday (Dec. 18) and Thursday (Dec. 19).
Chris Keim is the executive director of the Blackfalds Food Bank and Beyond Food Community Hub.
"This is an annual event that the Blackfalds Volunteer Fire Department puts on. They drive around with their firetruck with Santa and Mrs. Claus on it as well as other elves collecting food as they go around town."
West-side pickup will take place on Wednesday, with the east-side of Blackfalds donating on Thursday.
Cash and non-perishable food items will be accepted.
During last year's Santa Run firefighters collected $2093.50 and 6992 lbs. of food for the Blackfalds Food Bank.
