INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (December 21, 2015) – With Christmas just days away, a team of IMPD officers – with the help of an anonymous donor – are playing Santa today for area residents in need as part of Operation Ho Ho 5-0.
A $20,000 donation from the anonymous Indianapolis businessman to the Indy Public Safety Foundation was used to purchase 200 $100 Visa gift cards from Old National Bank, which waived all service charges and fees.
The gift cards will be distributed by officers at their discretion to residents in their districts – including DPS focus areas – they know are most in need.
The anonymous donor hopes his holiday generosity will inspire other business owners to work with IMPD to build relationships and improve quality of life in the community.
