Police Seeking Donations for Annual 'Holiday Giving Tree'

Information from the Pleasanton Police Department—

With the Christmas season almost upon us once again the Pleasanton Police Officers’ Charitable Foundation would like to give back to the community with its annual Giving Tree Program. The PPOCF will be collecting gifts for specific local families and senior citizens who are in need of special care this holiday season.

The Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley and the Pleasanton Unified School District have identified local families and adults they recognize as being in need of a little extra cheer this season. We are asking community members, businesses, and communities of faith to participate with us. If you are interested in helping to spread some Christmas joy this season stop by the Pleasanton Police Department beginning Nov. 29, and pick up a gift tag off of our Giving Tree. Each tag indicates what a specific family and senior have requested.

Due to such a great demand, we already have reached the maximum number of families and individuals we can assist. Unfortunately, we generally will not be able to accept additional requests for gifts. Additionally, we cannot accept walk-ins at the police station.

If you would like more information please contact Dispatcher Betsy Jones by email at bjones@cityofpleasantonca.gov or at (925) 931-5100.
