SOMERS POINT - Members of the Somers Point Fire Department and Somers Point Police Department brought Santa Claus to Shore Medical Center Friday, Dec. 17 where he spent a few minutes outside waving to children who are being treated in the Pediatric Care Center.
Parents picked up their children and held them close to the window for a good look while Santa waved and held up stuffed animals and bags full of toys the SPPD and SPFD donated to the pediatric patients this holiday season. Each child who was hospitalized on Friday received a gift from Santa, and the rest will be distributed throughout the holidays.
The police and fire departments spread holiday cheer throughout Somers Point by adopting five local families in need with a total of 14 children to help make Christmas exceptional for them this year. The departments also collected toys for the Wyatt Hopkins Blue Christmas Toy Drive, which will be given to patients at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. The Shore Medical Center's ICU team also sent Santa a box of toys for the Wyatt Hopkins Christmas Toy Drive.
