Time to spread the joy of Christmas cheer to someone in need.
This year, Teague Police Department is doing something different. In past years we have conducted the Blue Santa Program to help provide Christmas for underprivileged youths in our community. This year, we have elected to help underprivileged youths differently. We are excited to announce will take them with us to shop for their Christmas gifts! Officers of our department will team up with a child and help them shop for their gifts this year, hopefully making the experience more individualized for the children.
Distribution of collections jars to area businesses has already begun. We ask that you search your couches, back seats of your cars, washing machines, or anywhere else you can find loose change and drop that unused currency into these collection jars to help us make a child’s Christmas better. We are also available to receive cash donations at the police department (between 10 am – 3 pm, M-F) or by contacting any on duty officer. All donations will be used for the purposes of purchasing only items for the “Shop with a Cop” event.
Families in need may stop by the police department and complete an application for assistance if they would like to join in this event. Application can be obtained at City Hall or the Police Department. Please return completed applications to the police department for processing.
We can also email an application by contacting the Police Department at tpdsecretary@cityofteaguetx.com.
Please return these applications to the police department quickly as we have set the deadline for December 17, 2022 to ensure we have enough time to coordinate with families for this event.
