District 3 Members Help A Family In Need
On December 20th, 2008 at approximately 2:00 a.m., District 3 uniformed members attended to a residence in the north end area of the city.
Upon arrival, these members observed young children within the residence who had been subjected to a substantial amount of neglect and abuse.
These members felt compelled to see that these children had some gifts to open Christmas morning, with hopes to provide them with some enjoyment during a very troubling time in their young lives.
District 3 members, including Staff members from the Winnipeg Police Service Communication Centre collected funds for the purpose of purchasing gifts for the children.
The gifts were taken to the children by several officers who organized this initiative.
Although these gifts will not necessarily nullify what these children have gone through, it may help them in the healing process.
These members have gone above and beyond in order to make a small difference in this family’s life.
