In the spirit of the season, several Prince George’s County agencies are donating their time and energy to help the less fortunate.
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker joined with public safety officials to kick off the Public Safety Assistance Program’s 27th Annual Christmas Food Basket Event. Held at Bunker Hill Fire/Ems Station in Mt. Rainier, the program’s purpose is to make sure needy families have a meal this holiday season.
Baker who made his first official public appearance as county executive at this same event in 2010, thanked the officials involved saying, “Our heroes never stop being heroic. We are thankful.”
Volunteers from Prince George’s Community College (PGCC) pitched in also. PGCC President Charlene Dukes sent out a campus-wide call for help after learning about the programs existence. In all, members of the college’s Hillman Entrepreneurs Program, Pathways Student Leadership Program and the softball team packed 500 baskets to assist in the effort.
