On Monday, we reported on the success of the Clarinda Police Department’s “Operation Blessing” program. Today (Tuesday), Page County Sheriff Lyle Palmer reports his department’s “Operation Blessing” program was also a big success, thanks to everyone who donated to it this year. The Sheriff says without the support of the individuals, organizations, business’s, and groups who unselfishly gave to this program it would not be possible. Year after year people have continued to support this program some since the beginning in the early 1980’s.

From the money and items donated this year, the Page County Sheriff’s Office provided Christmas gifts to 21 families. That meant that 50 children in Page County received presents for Christmas this year from Page County Sheriff’s Office Operation Blessing program.

Palmer offers a sincere “THANK YOU” from everyone at the Page County Sheriff’s Office for the support shown by the area to make the program a success. He says “We look forward to continuing this program in the years to come.” The Sheriff also wants to thank his staff for the extra work that they put into the program and former Page County Sheriff Mike Williams for all of the time and effort he has put into this program from the beginning.
