From 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., residents are encouraged to stop by and bring any canned good item and have your picture taken with Santa.

The main items needed are canned meats, canned vegetables, canned fruits, canned tuna, peanut butter, rice and beans.

Guests can also enjoy fresh baked cookies, hot chocolate and apple cider.

All donations will be given to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.
