Today was a very special day for us. We met little Calen last month after his dad saw some of our officers and asked them if they could come over and say hi to his 3 year old son Calen. He told us that Calen LOVES the police!! Calen's family has been staying at a local hotel after losing everything in a house fire. We found out that Calen was celebrating his 4th birthday (today) and we knew we had to try to make it as special as we could under the unfortunate circumstances of Covid & the fire. We went to Wegmans and asked them to blow up a balloon for us while we picked up a cake. Wegman's assistant managers, Joe and Anna without hesitation said "we have to make this extra special for him". The two of them ran to the toy aisle and started filling up a bag and brought back food for the family to enjoy! We were overwhelmed by Wegman's kindness!! With the amazing partnership and generosity of Wegmans we were able to give Calen a birthday he would not forget! We can't thank Wegman's enough for donated the cake, balloons, food and bag of toys! Calen's mom shared her video with us! Our hearts are full!!
