Itās beginning to look a lot like Christmas, or at least planning for Christmas š„“.
For the last few years the Putnam County Fraternal Order of Police has hosted a free community event āChristmas at the Courthouseā. This event could not be possible without the generous donations from our community members.
For those not familiar with the event, I will provide a summary. We open up the courthouse for a holiday celebration. We have pictures with Santa, crafts, snacks and gifts for all children in attendance. This is a completely free event hosted by local law enforcement.
Our goal is to continue this event and keep it completely free for the community. We have averaged 300 children the last two years at this event.
We are looking for monetary donations to continue this event. All funds collected will go toward this free Christmas event, as well as āSanta Dropā. Santa Drop provides Christmas gifts to families in need in our community. We are also looking for sponsors to fulfill Christmas lists for families. I provide the childrenās wish list, you shop and we wrap and deliver. We can help so many additional families in need through sponsorship.
Our community has been so supportive of this event and we hope to continue this for years to come.
