Every December, a group of Santas paddle around Marblehead Harbor to raise money and awareness for the Marblehead Food Pantry Inc, a local nonprofit that provides basic groceries and other household needs to anyone who lives in Marblehead, MA.

The event is supported by several sea-worthy Santas, the event photographer, Bruce Durkee, and the Landing Restaurant, which hosts a post-paddle event for the Santas and friends, family, and supporters of the event.
