2008 Holiday Gift Basket Program

Thanks to our local Walmarts and the MPD!

PAL depends on the generosity and
support of a wide range of volunteers.

This time it was the members of our own MPD in conjunction with out local Walmart's.

As reported by Arla Tweedy, Melbourne Police Planner & Accreditation Manager:
 

As in past years, MPD supported our local children and families in need by participating in the Shop with a Cop Program and the Holiday Gift Baskets.  Officers, CSO’s and V-COPs brought delight to many families who otherwise might not have food or gifts during the holiday season.  WAL-MART continues their generosity by funding this event and this year, a total of $3500 was granted.  We wish to acknowledge and thank Fred Maine, Manager, Kelley Bardella, Assistant Manager, and Wendy Simpson, Finance, for making this happen! Additionally, the Melbourne Police Athletic League donated $500.  This means that 20 families will have a wonderful Holiday dinner and another 15 families will enjoy presents under their Christmas tree.  The one thing the entire project is comprised of is irreplaceable memories and gifts that come from the hearts of all who participated.  

Thank you!!!
