Sweet Home Police Department will offer a Kids 5-Point Star Christmas tree this year for anyone with children who might need a little help this Christmas season.
SHPD is accepting gift request applications through Dec. 2 at 5 p.m. Forms can be picked up at the Police Department.
The parent or guardian will be notified, and wrapped presents will be delivered to the child’s home the week of Christmas by police officers and a special Santa in a police vehicle.
Children are eligible if they live in and are actively enrolled in School District 55; live with the parent, guardian or person completing application; and are ages 13 through 17.
Only one request form per address will be accepted.
For anyone who would like to take a star off our tree and shop for a local child, the SHPD tree will be set up in the lobby starting Nov. 28. Gifts need to be purchased, wrapped and returned by Dec. 14.
