The Jeff Davis County Sheriff’s Office will host a hamburger plate fundraiser Friday, Nov. 20, to support Operation Blue Santa, a holiday initiative that provides Christmas gifts to children and families in need throughout Jeff Davis County. The event will begin at 11 a.m. at the Fort Davis Community Center and continue until all meals are sold. Hamburger plates will cost $12 each and include a hamburger, chips and a drink. Proceeds will benefit the Blue Santa program, which seeks to bring holiday cheer to local families during the Christmas season. In addition to the meal fundraiser, the sheriff’s office will have a designated collection area for donations of new, unwrapped toys. Community members are encouraged to contribute toys that will be distributed through the program. The sheriff’s office said the fundraiser is an opportunity for residents to support local children while coming together as a community ahead of the holidays.
