Santa Cops Gifts Wrapped for Distribution in Firestone

Rolls of wrapping paper were strung across Firestone Town Hall on Saturday morning, Dec. 10, 2011, as more than 20 volunteers showed up to help wrap hundreds of gifts for the annual Santa Cops program. The program is an annual effort by the Firestone, Frederick and Dacono police departments to provide toys, warm winter clothing and gifts for children in the Tri-Town area who may not otherwise have a gift during the holiday season.

Gifts and donations came in throughout the past month to the Firestone Police Department to help provide gifts to 242 kids through the Santa Cops program this year, in addition to 86 families who were sponsored through the program.

Beverly Medina, the Firestone Court Clerk and Santa Cops Coordinator, said the annual program is a great opportunity for people in the area to give back to the kids. “The generosity bestowed upon the Tri-Town Santa Cop program is a way for all of us to give to our community,” she said. “It allows many wishes to come true.”

Gifts were distributed to the families by a Firestone police officer the week of Dec. 12, 2011.
