MARYSVILLE — Marysville firefighters and Santa Claus will once again be teaming up this year to collect for the Marysville Community Food Bank.

Santa and the firefighters will be at the Marysville Safeway, located at 1258 State Ave., from 3-7 p.m on Dec. 5-8, so they encourage you to stop by and say hi.

During this time of year, the Marysville Community Food Bank relies even more so on the community’s spirit of giving to ensure that families in need can celebrate the holiday season.

The firefighters and Santa will accept donations of food, unwrapped toys or cash, and Santa will be handing out candy canes for kids and adults alike
