Dayton, OH – Families across Montgomery County can join local deputies and firefighters tonight for a holiday fundraiser aimed at supporting residents in need. The annual Serving for Santa event returns to Old Scratch Pizza in Centerville this evening, offering community members a chance to enjoy a meal while contributing to a charitable cause.
According to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the event runs Tuesday, December 9, 2025, from 4 p.m. to close at the restaurant’s Miamisburg-Centerville Road location in Washington Township. Deputies and firefighters will serve food throughout the evening, with donations benefiting the Montgomery County Police Athletics and Activities League (P.A.A.L.).
A portion of Old Scratch Pizza’s sales will also go toward sponsoring families this holiday season, the sheriff’s office said. Guests dining in or ordering online can use the code GIVE20 to have 20% of their purchase donated. Cash contributions will also be accepted onsite.
Organizers say the goal is to boost support for families who may be struggling during the winter months. P.A.A.L. funds are used to provide meals, gifts, and holiday assistance to households across the region. Last year’s event drew strong turnout, and officials are encouraging residents to stop by, enjoy dinner, and help increase the impact again this year.
Those planning to attend can simply mention the fundraising flyer at checkout or enter the promotional code online. Community members who cannot make it are still welcome to donate directly to P.A.A.L. through the sheriff’s office.
Residents are encouraged to share photos, spread the word, and support the initiative as agencies partner to uplift local families this season.
