Citrus Heights Police joined the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District and other community partners earlier this month to bring holiday cheer to dozens of local children through the Police Department’s annual “Operation Holiday Cheer.”
Along with Santa and Mrs. Claus, police officers and firefighters delivered piles of wrapped gifts to children for the holidays.
Citrus Heights Police released a photo gallery and a recap video on social media which shows Santa, Mrs. Claus, the chief of police and police officers in Santa hats loading piles of gifts into police vehicles. Later, uniformed officers in cruisers with flashing lights and fire engines come together with Santa and Mrs. Claus to deliver gifts to dozens of waiting kids and their families.
In early December, nominated families were selected to receive gifts and a variety of donations were collected throughout the holiday season, including non-perishable food items, cleaning supplies, personal hygiene items, new unwrapped toys, gift wrap, and gift-wrapping supplies.
The annual family gifting event focuses on bringing holiday cheer to families who live in Citrus Heights, who have experienced an unexpected hardship throughout the course of the year, and who have at least one child under the age of thirteen.
