County and State elected officials continue working behind the scenes through the holidays, and for as long as it takes, to ensure crucial healthcare services remain in central, western and southern parts of the County.

For the short-term, we are sharing information and resources for those impacted by the hospital closures at chesco.org/hospitals. This information will be updated as needed.

Meet Cash the Elf. He is the Oxford Area Chamber of Commerce Elf. Follow Cash for the next month and see the businesses that he visits, all in support of the Oxford Police Department Toy Drive. Each business will make a donation for Cash to come visit and take a photo. 100% of the donations are given to the OPD for the toy drive. The toys are given out during a fun Christmas "Santa Police" parade with Santa Clause in a patrol car. The Christmas “Santa Police" parade aims to visit every street in Oxford Borough on Christmas Eve morning to distribute a toy to every Borough child between 0-16 years of age who comes out of their home to meet the officers that serve them. #oxforpa #oxfordpachamber #CashtheElf
