This year more than ever, local families in need are embracing those who reach out to them during the holiday season.
For years, members and associate members of the Wyandotte Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 111 have carried out an Adopt a Family program.
Billie Derwoed, as associate member who was in charge of organizing the program this year, said associate members do much of the fundraising for the FOP, a nonprofit organization that is funded strictly by donations.

She said the Wyandotte FOP has been adopting families for the past 12 years and expressed an interest in continuing the program.
