MORRIS COUNTY — Italian American Police Society of New Jersey Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Morris, Bergen and Passaic counties held its Annual Christmas Party for children in need. The event was held at the American Legion Hall in Whippany.
The US Customs and Border Protection Law Enforcement Explorers helped to make the holiday party for Big Brothers and Big Sisters a huge success. These young men and women did an outstanding job.
Over 200 children received an afternoon of gifts, enjoying pizza, cake, brownies, soda, face painters and Elmo and Sponge Bob and of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus. They gave away truckloads of toys and gifts to the young children who enjoyed spending time with police officers from the area. Undersheriff William Schievella said “Thank you so much to all that worked hard to make our event another success. I also want to thank those who generously gave to help those in need. There is nothing better than serving the community around the holidays.”
