Gifts must be wrapped and placed in a gift bag that is clearly marked with the family's last name, the address for the gifts to be delivered and the children’s names. They must be dropped off to the Oceanport Hook & Ladder Firehouse on Saturday, Dec. 14 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m., Saturday Dec., 21 between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. or Monday Dec. 23 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
