The Corpus Christi Police Department delivered food provided by a private donor to families in need on Christmas Eve.

A private Donor arranged for food and other gifts to be delivered to families. Corpus Christi Police patrol officers identified families in need who would benefit from the donations.

The officers made a list of 135 families that would benefit from the donation and then arranged for volunteers to help deliver the food. The police officers and the volunteers gathered at the HEB at Robert and Alameda on Christmas Eve morning and set out to deliver the donations. The officers divided the volunteers into 10 groups and delivered the donated food and gifts throughout the city.

Corpus Christi Police Officer Javier Cantu said this is a great example of the patrol officers engaged in the community and understanding the needs of the individuals they serve. The private donor, who wished to remain anonymous, is greatly thanked by the Corpus Christi Police Department for their generosity and selfless spirit to improve the community in which we live.
