The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office and the Fremont County Reserve Deputy’s Association is in its 34th year of sponsorship of Operation Santa Claus. Operation Santa Claus provides Christmas presents for children in families of need throughout the communities of Fremont County. In 2019, your generous donations made Christmas merrier and brighter for over 300 Fremont County children.

Throughout the natural disasters and global pandemics that have affected our community, our citizens have come together to assist their neighbors in need. Sheriff Kevin Aistrope says “We are currently seeking Tax Deductible donations to assist in our endeavor. Please contact the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office at 712-374-2424 or 1-800-432-9240 or, new this year, PayPal donations can be made to reservedeputy@co.fremont.ia.us. Please mark any donations care of Operation Santa.”

Aistrope says also, “We are currently accepting applications for participants receiving gifts this year. The children must reside in the home of the caller and must be a high school student or younger. Please call at 712-374-2424 or 1-800-432-9240.”
