COMMUNITY/RECORDS A6 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM Christmas Express is full steam ahead despite the pandemic By JADE MCDOWELL NEWS EDITOR For the Hermiston Police Department, it’s not too early to be thinking about Christmas. School closures for COVID-19 have had to make the department rethink the annual Christmas Express. The program — in its 51st year — provides boxes of food and gifts for families in need each December. Usually, schools help out the police department with canned food drives that raise a signifi cant portion of the food distributed each year. But Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston said this year, with school mostly tak- ing place online, the depart- ment will be setting up a drop-off location instead. From Nov. 30 to Dec. 11, Hermiston City Recorder Lily Alarcon-Strong wraps gifts for Christmas Express with other city staff and their families in December 2019. Hermiston Herald, File people will be able to drop off canned food (no glass items) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Hermiston Commu- nity Center, 415 S. Highway 395. Edmiston said police department staff will be there to take donations and sort them by type of food. When the time gets closer, there will also be information available about where in the community people can drop off Christ- mas gifts for community members in need as well. Edmiston said it’s hard to predict how the haul at the community center will compare to when classes are competing against each other to collect the most canned food for their schools. But he has faith that the depart- ment will be able to provide 500 boxes of food for Agape House to give away as usual. “Hermiston has histori- cally been a can-do commu- nity when it comes to fund- Republican women hold Trump rally raising,” he said. The department also uses cash donations to buy a tur- key for each box and fi ll in the gaps in supplies to reach 500 fully stocked boxes, and Edmiston said they have a “cushion” of money saved up that will be able to com- pensate if less food than usual comes in this year. City of Hermiston staff and their family members will help put together the boxes of food as usual. Police used to drop off the boxes for families nom- inated to receive one, but in recent years has switched to having volunteers call peo- ple to notify them they are on the list to be able to pick up a box from the Agape House, 500 W. Harper Road, in Hermiston. Edmiston said that will be the case again this year.
