Fort Erie's District 5 thanking public for their generosity
In December, the District 5 office put out a call for donations and were overwhelmed by the response with items being dropped off by residents as far away as Grimsby.
Police say the campaign received hand-made knitted items, newly purchased items, and items donated by local businesses.
The winter wear went to local residents in need and police also created packages of winter hats, scarves, and mittens which were placed in uniform cruisers in Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, and Welland which were handed out to individuals in need.
Several community agencies and organizations also received these donated items, such as Gilmore Lodge, Matthew House, Bridges Community Centre, and the Niagara Reach Bus.
Police would like to thank the public for their help adding "the incredible outpouring of generosity certainly assisted our fellow members of the public through the winter months."
