Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker joined public safety leaders this morning to kick-off the Public Safety Assistance Program's (PSAP) 27th Annual Christmas Food Basket event. The event was once again held at the Bunker Hill Fire/EMS Station #855 where Executive Director Bill Milligan and the PSAP has taken residence since November. The food baskets delivery is now in full motion. PSAP Director Bill Milligan stated, "Our goal this year is to deliver 3,000 food baskets to those less fortunate in Prince George's County." County Executive Baker provided opening remarks and reminded everyone that it was one year ago that he made his first public appearance as County Executive at this worthwhile event. Of the food basket program and the effort put forth, County Executive Baker stated, "Our heroes never stop being heroic. We are thankful."
Executive Baker was part of the assembly line as he and his public safety team helped to fill food baskets that would be delivered later in the morning to residents of the Emerson House in Bladensburg.
Afterwards, Santa Claus was escorted to the Riverdale Elementary School where children were thrilled to see Santa, Mrs. Claus, their elves and a host of firefighters, paramedics and law enforcement officials. Fire Chief Marc S. Bashoor assisted at all three events and stated, "The Public Safety Food Assistance Program is a great opportunity to help and is rewarding for everyone involved."
