From the Oakes Police Department: The amazon wish list is now public for those who wish to sponsor kids who are were nominated for the 2023 First Noel with First Responders event! We will have the local wish list published in the next few days.

There are multiple ways to donate and sponsor kids in the event this year. This link https://a.co/gBsP15v will go to the Amazon wish list that was created.

Each nominated child will receive a set number of Oakes Bucks to spend at local businesses to purchase gifts for their family members. If you would like to donate towards the Oakes Bucks, please contact Kausha Magill at the Oakes Chamber office 701-742-3508. Kausha creates Oakes bucks that are specifically made for this event, that way businesses are aware when the kids come into their store to use them. A huge thank you to her for doing this every year for our event.

On the evening of Sunday, December 3rd, Oakes Volunteer Ambulance Service, Oakes Fire Department, Oakes Police Department, and North Dakota Parole and Probation will be escorting Santa and Mrs. Claus with emergency lights, and even some Christmas music, to the nominated kid's residences to deliver the gifts.

Thank you for your continued support that allows us to keep this event going every year.
