Bailey Cox, 8, has her photo taken with Black Santa PDX during an event hosted by Black Joy Oregon and Cherry City Roller Derby on Dec. 20 in Salem. This was the second year they have hosted this free event for the community.

Black Santa PDX raises money throughout the year and has toys on an Amazon wishlist so that each child receives a toy during their visit with him. Other community resources were also set up at the event.
