A longtime holiday tradition almost became “The Christmas That Wasn’t” for the Iberville Parish Sheriff’s Office, until circumstances made Sheriff Brett Stassi reconsider.
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic left Stassi uncertain about whether to do the annual Christmas donations to needy families, but it did not take him long to reconsider.
“I was thinking of another plan, but we started getting calls from guidance counselors from the schools who were waiting for the paperwork,” he said. “The people from schools told us this tradition was needed more than ever.”
Stassi agreed, and the tradition continued.
Deputies brought 20 children on a Christmas shopping trip during what has been one of the toughest years for families, many of whom have been sick or out of work during the COVID-19 pandemic.
