Hobart, WI – Local families are invited to celebrate the holiday spirit today during Hobart’s annual Christmas Food Drive and Cookies & Hot Cocoa With Santa event, held from 5:30 to 7:30 PM at Hobart Fire Station 1, 2703 S Pine Tree Rd. The event brings together seasonal fun and community support as residents donate food and enjoy free treats with Santa.
According to event organizers, guests can bring a non-perishable food item or monetary donation to help support families in need this holiday season. Every person who donates will have their name entered into a drawing for a holiday gift basket, featuring baking items, sweets, festive accessories, and a $100 Meijer gift card.
This year’s event is supported by several community partners. According to organizers, sponsors include Festival Foods, Midwest Restoration, Herbalife, Meijer, and Sprinkles Childcare, whose contributions helped make the food drive and giveaway possible. A large “Baking Spirits Bright” gift basket—beautifully wrapped and filled with holiday goodies—will be awarded to one lucky attendee tonight.
Families can also enjoy free cookies and hot cocoa, photos with Santa, and holiday decorations throughout the station. The Hobart Volunteer Firefighter’s Association is hosting the event as a way to bring neighbors together and encourage seasonal giving.
Organizers say the food drive is an important local tradition and helps restock pantry supplies during a time when need typically rises. Residents of Hobart, Brown County, and nearby communities are encouraged to stop in, donate if able, and enjoy the festive atmosphere.
