Despite the changes made to the program sometimes at the last minute to accommodate the changing public health guidelines, each department has gone above and beyond to assist their families. We are so grateful for their participation in this challenging year.

Has Santa set up his workshop in Bissell Hall?
Well, kind of. Santa’s elves at University Police have filled the building’s conference room with gifts gathered for a local veteran family adopted through WNY Heroes Inc.
“The outpouring of support from our department has been overwhelming, especially during this year,” says UPD Officer Shannon Sweeney, who is coordinating the effort with Officer Alexandra Ince and Investigator Wayne Colton. “It just shows that no matter how bad things can get, we can still come together and make a beautiful Christmas for a deserving military family.”
