How it works: Text 860-483-0758 with your address, cell number, and name. We will add you to our list. On Sunday 12/7 from 2-6 or Tuesday 12/9 from 5-8 you bring a wrapped present for any children that will be there on the 13th with their name and address on the package to the fire house. We will organize the route and give you an approximate arrival time.

There is no cost for participating in the Santa Run, our members do it to give back to the town for your support throughout the year. We hope to see you on the 13th!

Just a reminder that the firehouse will be decorated for Halloween and we love to see Trick or Treaters! We know there are a lot of people in town that also enjoy Halloween and decorating, but may not live in an area where there are a lot of kids. We invite all of you to come to the Firehouse parking lot to decorate your vehicles or a parking spot and join us in handing out candy to all the trick-or-treaters.

The 2024 Santa Run is underway. This afternoon Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Department will be delivering presents to approximately 400 children in town with Santa. This annual event takes the resources of almost 20 volunteers today and numerous others in the weeks leading up to the event. This is not a fundraiser but rather our way of saying Merry Christmas and to thank the town for their support of our mission throughout the year. Thank you to our members and our Ladies Auxiliary for taking all this time during the busy holiday season to make this a great day for children of the town.
