Coeur d’Alene firefighters will be driving Santa around Coeur d’Alene neighborhoods next week, beginning Monday, collecting food and cash donations for the food bank and spreading Christmas cheer to all. 

The firefighters’ goal is to collect more than 5,000 pounds of food to help families in the community who need help this holiday season. 

Santa’s sleigh is an old fire truck decorated with Christmas lights and plays Christmas music. 

When you hear the music or see the sleigh, come outside, donate some food, talk to Santa and get a candy cane. 

Santa will be on the road from 4:30 to 8:30 each night.

“Santa won’t be able to visit every street in Coeur d’Alene, so please go the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department website and use the Santa Tracker to find out where he is and come track us down, so you, and your kids, will be assured to see Santa,” said Coeur d’Alene Firefighters.
