Help Palatine Police Remove The 'Elves From The Christmas Tree'
Select an elf from the police department's Christmas tree, buy the items on the wish list and help make a family's holidays bright.
PALATINE, IL — The Palatine Police Department is asking the public's help to make the season bright for families in need this holiday season.
The police department recently kicked off its "holiday helper program," which provides holiday gift assistance to low income families who reside in Palatine. The goal of the program is to better their current situation.
This year, families were selected from referrals from the police department social workers and counselors.
