I just read a heartwarming story by Evan Lips, a former colleague at the New Haven Register, about Ansonia police officers making the holiday season brighter for three needy Valley families.
The department raised money to provide the families with a shopping spree Saturday at the Target store in Ansonia.
Santa Claus even made an appearance during the event.
It's wonderful to see police officers out in the community demonstrating the true spirit of the season.
