Montgomery police officers help bring Christmas joy to area students

Members of the Montgomery Police Department are helping make Christmas a little merrier for some children in our area.

The McIntyre Community Center has about 21 students in its after school program.

The center is part of the Montgomery Police Athletic/Activities League, or MPAL.

MPAL provides a safe, affordable place for children to go when they are not in school. It’s also a place where caring adults offer thoughtfully designed activities to help them succeed academically, make healthy lifestyle choices, and grow to be productive adults.

The students enrolled in the MPAL program provided a list of Christmas wish list items earlier this year. With the help of Montgomery police officers, the children will have a very merry Christmas.

The gifts will be handed out during the community center’s Christmas party on December 19th.
