Santa accepting letters, canned goods during weekend event

QUINCY — Got a letter for Santa?

Any letters for Santa Claus this year can be dropped off at the Santa mailbox at 5729 S. 24th. The person who is writing the letter must put their name and return address on the letter. Letters can be dropped off before Dec. 21.

A special two-day event is set for Friday and Saturday. Anyone stopping by to drop off a letter from 5-9 p.m. can get free hot chocolate. They also are asked to bring canned goods to help pack the pantries in Quincy. Nearly 700 cans were collected last year, and this year’s goal is for 1,000 canned goods.
