(Atlantic) The Atlantic Police Department is gearing up for their Christmas programs.
The 2023 Atlantic Police Department Reserve Unit “Family Dreams Christmas” program will be held on Saturday December 16th. This program accepts nominations and applications for families to be chosen for shopping. The families who are chosen will be taken shopping around Atlantic to purchase items they are in need of and some items on their wish list. Applications can be picked up at the police department and can also be filled out on line by visiting https://atlanticia.seamlessdocs.com/f/FDC2023. Applications are due December 6th at 4:00PM to be considered. This program is available to Cass County residents only.
The Atlantic Police Department “Shop with a Cop” program will be held on December 17th. Applications are NOT accepted for this program. This program is for children of Cass County and they are invited by the department to participate.
The Atlantic Police Department has been helping Cass County families have a more enjoyable holiday for over 20-years. The APD thanks the generous donors who have supported the programs over the years and those who intend to donate this year.
In 2022, the programs assisted 73 children and 20 adults from 27 different families. In the last 10 years, over 650 children and 200 adults from 250 families have been assisted.
Donations to support these programs can be dropped off at the police department, or call the department to schedule a donation from your group or business.
