Joe,
On Saturday, 12/19/09 members of the Fruitland Police and Fire Departments , along with Santa, delivered food baskets and toys to nine local families in our annual “Christmas for Kids” program. Everyone had a great time in spite of the weather. As you know, the most heartwarming story is that of the Phillips family (Beth, Dustin and Jana) who are pictured with Santa. Beth and her two children were absolutely thrilled. In fact, Beth indicated that the response the family has received from the entire community has been absolutely overwhelming and very much appreciated; particularly during Christmas.
A huge Thank You is extended to everyone at Crossroads Church, Fruitland Fire Department, our employees at City Hall and community members who donated toys and clothing to our program. We would also like to thank Mrs. Rebecca Palmer and Councilman Richard Tull for their donations as well as the East Fields Homeowners Association who collect and donate food baskets each year.
Merry Christmas to you and your Family.
Help those that need helping.
ReplyDeleteThese people have plenty to live on and are taking advantage of the community.
I know of a family that received gifts and they were so excited! Thank you to all who organized and donated!
ReplyDeleteJoe please do a story on SPD who is giving to over 30 families, so they can get the credit for all they have done.
