HS_Holiday_Cheer_2011The High Springs Police Department made about a dozen house calls last Tuesday morning, delivering gaily decorated bags of Christmas gifts to area families.

HIGH SPRINGS – Christmas will be a little brighter this year for a number of families in the High Springs area.  Thanks to the generosity of the community and efforts of the High Springs Police Department (HSPD), not only did Santa receive a helping hand with his seasonal gift giving, area children benefitted from the gifts.

The HSPD has been hosting Operation Holiday Cheer for the past few years. Through the department’s toy drive, officers collect donations to bring holiday joy to High Springs families in need. HSPD Chief William Benck said it's a project the community really gets behind.

The department accepted donations through last Friday, and with the assistance of several elves, delivered the giftwrapped presents Tuesday morning to about a dozen families.
