Every holiday season for more than a decade St. Bernard Sheriff’s Office deputies have kept the magic of Christmas alive for local families who might otherwise go without, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Each year, C.O.P.S (Caring Officers Provide Smiles) for Christmas LLC helps provide several St. Bernard families with things such as toys, food, clothing and household and toiletry items. Bicycles also are usually donated by a local business.

Funding for this annual program is made possible through fundraisers, items collected from local businesses and donations from deputies.

The chili cook off is this year’s fundraiser. Please stop by and support this worthy cause.
