Several single mothers of Sangre Grande were recipients of Christmas Hampers donated by Community Police Officers attached to Eastern Division yesterday.
The mothers all received boxes of groceries, which included a ham. The love caring and sharing ceremony was held at the Community Policing Office in the Eastern Division.
Head of the division acting Senior Supt Garth Nelson said he was very happy to see that his community police officers used their initiative and decided on this drive in giving to the needy mothers.
He said police were not only to serve and protect but to share and give their love to those in need.
He also commended all the police officers who were involved in the initiative. He said projects like these will give back some respect to the police, as people will realised that the duty of the police is not only based on arresting people , but interacting and communicating and sharing some love with them especially in time of need.
