Pine Creek Township Police Launch ‘Operation Christmas 2024’ to Support Families in Need with Holiday Gifts
The Pine Creek Township Police Department will be accepting families for their “Operation Christmas” program— a help fund designed to provide Christmas gifts to families in need in the Avis Borough, Dunnstable Township, Wayne Township, and Pine Creek Township areas.
Community residents who have not benefited from the program in the last two years can visit the Pine Creek Police Department at 23 Municipal Drive, Avis, PA, to sign up and provide a wish list of gifts and sizes for their children if they need assistance for Christmas.
Parents/guardians can come to the Police Department on the following dates:
- Friday, November 15, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
- Friday, November 22, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
- Friday, November 29, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
We are pleased to have the help again this year from a local business with additional sign-up times.
Individuals who are unable to come to the police department may also sign up at Aungst Cuts, 24 W. Central Avenue in Avis, during the month of November on the following days and times:
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
The gifts will be purchased at a local store where parents/guardians meet staff from Pine Creek Township Police Department. This is not a program based on family income. The only requirements are that the children must be age 15 or younger, and the family must provide proof of residency in one of the municipalities that Pine Creek Township Police provides coverage for. A photo ID of the guardian, a current utility bill, and proof of guardianship of the children must be provided.
To make a monetary contribution to the Pine Creek Township Police Department’s “Operation Christmas” program, please make your donation payable to “Operation Christmas” and mail it to P.O. Box 596, Avis, PA 17721.
