VALDOSTA â The Valdosta Police Department, in partnership with the Citizens Against Violence Venture Club and Patriot Tattooer, surprised a local Valdosta family with Christmas donations of food and gifts.Â
The organizations met at the familyâs residence to hand-deliver the donations they collected and meet Kinshasa Martin and her four young children, organizers said in a statement.
Every year, the detectives at the police station donate to a family in need but partnered with others. The family has been long-time members of the Citizens Against Violence Venture Club and was chosen by Pastor J.D. Martin, chief executive officer and founder, and his wife, Ethel Martin.Â
