A giving spirit for the Christmas season

The Belgrade/Brooten Police Department announced that for the second year in a row they will be sponsoring two families in need this Holiday season.

Police Chief Casey Jansky said, "If anyone would like to stop by our police department office or city hall in Belgrade this Holiday season, we are asking for donations of money or gift cards. The money will assist us with gifts and food items."

Jansky also noted that donations can be mailed to Belgrade City Hall at P.O. Box 296, Belgrade, MN 56312.

"As Police Chief, I am proud of our department for their actions and dedication to helping those in need. If you feel you would like to assist us, please drop off your donations during business hours, Monday to Friday. If enough is donated, we will continue down our list of needy families."

The police department has a target date of Monday, December 17 to go out and purchase gifts and then distribute them.

Jansky added, "Thank you to anyone who wants to help out with this project, from all of us at the Belgrade/Brooten Police Department."
