Operation Santa Claus Needs Your Help
We are kicking off Operation Santa Claus and need your help to provide a Christmas for hundreds of local children.
OSC is a combined effort between the Shreveport Police and Fire departments. The goal is to give local underprivileged children a reason to smile by providing new toys for Christmas.
We count on local residents to provide new unwrapped toys for these youngsters. The toy drive continues through December 16th, with toys being delivered on Fire Engines, and in Police cars on the December 19th, 20th, and 21st.
Here's how you can help:
