Merry Christmas, AP! Here’s a wrap-up for you on just how successful our Sgt. Anders Cops for Tots and Holiday Meal Drive was this year. And, wow! It was a huge success because of you and your awesome generosity!
The final numbers are in, and here they are:
- 81 families signed up online for toy assistance
- Approximately 30 more signed up in person through staff
