Every year since 1998, the Escondido Police Department (EPD) has hosted an annual Christmas party to give kids who have been the victims of abuse, neglect, and violent crime a Christmas they might not otherwise get to experience.
This year the party will be held on Thursday, December 7. The event will include food, a magic show, face painting, a visit with Santa Claus, and every child in attendance will receive gifts.
The EPD is asking for the community’s help to make this Christmas a little bit brighter for these kids by donating a new, unwrapped toy for a boy or girl ages newborn to 18 years old.
All locations will be collecting gifts until Friday, December 1. If you have any questions regarding this event, contact Cecilia Gonzalez, EPD Family Protection Unit, at 760-839-4931.
