The Dunwoody Police department is once again doing its part to bring Christmas cheer to many special children in Dunwoody with the second annual Christmas for Kids program. Christmas for Kids began with an idea to help Dunwoody's less fortunate children by making their Christmases a little brighter. This year, the Dunwoody Police Department and Dunwoody community will be collecting new and unwrapped toys, for children from newborn to fifteen years old, and invite them to a private Christmas festival where Santa and all his helpers will come together to personally give out those toys and gifts.
"Christmas for Kids brings Dunwoody law enforcement, city employees, local businesses, and the community together to help bring a smile to the face of a child who might otherwise have little to smile about during the holiday season", said Billy Grogan, Dunwoody Chief of Police. "It is our opportunity to think about the welfare of others, rather than ourselves."
The Christmas season for 2010 is quickly approaching, and there are still families in Dunwoody who will benefit from this program. The Police Department is asking the Dunwoody community to begin thinking about the holiday season a little early this year.
"Christmas for Kids is one of many special events in Dunwoody that showcases the warmth and generosity of this community," said Officer Fidel Espinoza, Dunwoody Police Department. "Christmas for Kids brought our community together to bring so much joy to many deserving children. It is a pleasure to once again reach Dunwoody's less fortunate children and make their Christmas a little brighter."
Last year, the community stepped up and enabled Christmas for Kids to help over 60 children and their families. The goal this year will be to help those families and then some. A webpage has been set up www.DPDChristmas4Kids.com where information can be found regarding toy drop-off locations, volunteer information, and program updates.
