Coffee with Cops!

Join the Baldwin Park Police Deparment Saturday, October 23 from 8am-12pm at the Julia McNeil Senior Center, 4100 Baldwin Park Blvd. For a cup of coffee with your police officers and stay for the Red Ribbon Spirit Rally!

Can you help?

Thanksgiving and Christmas will soon be upon us; but, everyday the Social Services office is helping people. More and more families are seeking food help.

Can you help provide food for families and the homeless? Donations such as rice, beans, instant soup, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Demand for food aid has grown enormously this year.

The holidays are also a need and donations of items such as stuffing, rolls, yams, etc. are also greatly appreciated. Turkeys and hams are also needed.

Financial help is also extremely welcome.

Thank you.
