Each year during the holidays, the Howard County Police Foundation raises money to donate necessities and toys to children in Howard County as part of its HoCo Kids Campaign. We're always thrilled to see the dozens and dozens of children the Foundation helps at the annual holiday party, but unfortunately it cannot be held this year.
Check out http://hcpf.org/hocokids/ to help the Foundation reach its goal!
Each year, our HoCo Kids Campaign makes the holidays a little brighter for underprivileged children around Howard County. Last year, we were able to host over 100 kids for a holiday party where they celebrated with a warm meal and received an oversized gift bag containing warm winter necessities, toiletries and toys. While we can't host an in-person holiday party this year, we know the needs are greater, and we are committed to continuing this important tradition. Help us make the holidays bright during this difficult year and sponsor a child to receive a gift sack. Learn more and sponsor: hcpf.org/hocokids.
