Santa has recruited amazing people across the Uintah Basin to help local kids have a great Christmas and donations from the public make all the difference. Duchesne County Commissioner Irene Hansen shares that anyone wishing to donate toys, pajamas, socks, or warm coats, or jackets for children ages 1 to 15 can drop off unwrapped gifts at the Crossroads Senior Center during business hours. Tags listing specific needs are available at Davis Food in Roosevelt and Stewart’s Market. Donations are being accepted through December 13th. Santa’s Community Effort in Uintah County organized by the Rotary Club is also in its final push to gather the items needed to make for a special Christmas for local kids. In its 3rd year, the Polar Bear Run which is taking place tomorrow, is all about supporting the Rotary Club in their quest. At 2pm, 100 bikers will start at Beers Harley Davidson to travel across the Vernal area toward the Gateway Saloon. They may look tough on the outside but that crew have one purpose: to deliver wrapped gifts and hearts full of charity to those in need this holiday season.
