Burbank Police Department makes children happy at its Holiday Shopping Event
Thirty children in Burbank had a great day buying Christmas gifts thanks to the Burbank Police Department, Walmart and the Burbank Housing Corp. The children were selected based on family income and need, and each child was given a $198 gift card to use to buy items for themselves and their families at the Burbank Walmart on Wednesday. The participants were accompanied by Burbank police officers, cadets, and explorers as the children shopped for holiday gifts for themselves and their families.

“The Burbank Police Department is grateful for the opportunity to partner with Walmart, Burbank Housing Corporation, Burbank Police Foundation, Burbank Police Officers’ Association, and our local service organizations to support families in our community,” said Lieutenant Brent Fekety.
“The department’s Holiday Shopping Event is one of our most meaningful annual traditions because it allows us to connect with local youth, share in the spirit of the season, and give children a holiday experience they truly deserve,” he said. “We appreciate the generosity of our partners and the continued support of the community in making this event possible.”
