Santa Claus trades in his sleigh and reindeer for sirens.
Buffalo’s Police Reserves are helping jolly old Saint Nick spread holiday cheer to Queen City families. It’s part of their annual Family Christmas giveaway.
Police Reserve officers wrapped and prepared toys for five Buffalo-area families in need Sunday afternoon. Organizers say in these tough economic times, some Western New York Families need a little help putting gifts under the tree.
”Our motto is to serve the community and this is one of the functions that we really get involved with by reaching out to the families in need. It’s a great feeling to provide them with a joyous time of the year,” said Lt. John Buczak.
The Buffalo Police Reserves sponsors families throughout the year and purchase age appropriate toys. The group pays for the gifts out of their own pockets.
