The Jeff Davis County Sheriff’s Office will host a hamburger plate fundraiser Friday, Nov. 20, to support Operation Blue Santa, a holiday initiative that provides Christmas gifts to children and families in need throughout Jeff Davis County.
The event will begin at 11 a.m. at the Fort Davis Community Center and continue until all meals are sold.
Hamburger plates will cost $12 each and include a hamburger, chips and a drink. Proceeds will benefit the Blue Santa program, which seeks to bring holiday cheer to local families during the Christmas season.
In addition to the meal fundraiser, the sheriff’s office will have a designated collection area for donations of new, unwrapped toys. Community members are encouraged to contribute toys that will be distributed through the program.
The sheriff’s office said the fundraiser is an opportunity for residents to support local children while coming together as a community ahead of the holidays.
“This holiday season, let’s come together as a community to make Christmas a little brighter for those who need it most,” the sheriff’s office said in its announcement.
Organizers emphasized that both meal purchases and toy donations will help support the program’s efforts to assist Jeff Davis County families.
Residents wishing to participate can purchase a hamburger plate or drop off new, unwrapped toys at the Fort Davis Community Center during the event.
