The 2013 Pocomoke City Youth Christmas Party hosted by the Pocomoke City Police Deprtment was held Saturday, December 14, 2013 at Bethany United Methodist Church.

This program was created by the Pocomoke City Police Department to provide Christmas gifts and community fellowship to families within Pocomoke City who would not be able to provide for their children this Christmas season.    Over 120 families  received an invitation to bring their children to spend an evening with  Santa and Mrs. Claus and receive presents along with a warm delicious meal.  Each family invited were from recommendations from the Worcester County Social Services, Pocomoke Middle & Elementary schools and members of the Pocomoke City Police Department.

So cute! Just looking at the children and their smiling faces has made my day! An added bonus is to see that Pocomoke hasn't falling victim to the thought police and still calls this event a Christmas Party. This makes me even more grateful for buying a home in Pocomoke.

It is my understanding that this has been done by the Pocomoke Police Dep. for quite a few years. And I believe this is the first time the public has been able to see for themselves. Thankyou police dept. What a generous donation from Hardwire, Save the Youth and Long and Foster.
