Christmas Food Basket Program Needs Support for Local Families

Providing local families with Christmas food baskets over the past three decades would not have been possible without the kindness of many people.

Through generous donations, over 3,000 families in the Prince George’s County Public Safety Assistance Program received Christmas food baskets last year. With limited resources, it appears that only half of that that amount of people will be given baskets this year.

As the program enters its 30th year, the lack of funds is causing Prince George’s County families to be turned away.

In order to help as many people as possible, Prince George’s County’s Public Safety Agencies, the Office of the County Executive, and the Office of Homeland Security are asking for donations.

One hundred percent of donations go to the program and the baskets will be assembled Dec. 11-22.

To donate to the Christmas Food Basket program, make out checks to “PSAP FOOD” and mail it to P.O. Box 548, Upper Marlboro, MD 20773-0548.
