A Look Back at 2021

This county-wide annual Christmas event is coordinated by the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 109, and benefits local underprivileged children. Participants gathered at the Glen Ellyn Park District for breakfast, sports and photo-ops, and  a meet-and-greet with Santa, all followed by a police caravan ride to the Meijer food store in Bloomingdale for some Christmas shopping. Children were able to choose to shop for themselves or for family members.

So, to all who helped - through either toy or monetary donations - to make this Christmas a great one for area kids in need to remember…THANK YOU, again!
