For the 9th year in a row, the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) K9 unit partnered with Justice Resource Institute (JRI) in Fall River to gather toys for foster children at JRI who might not otherwise get toys at Christmas. Dozens of children will be receiving toys this year.
“This helps kids who would not otherwise have received presents. We thank the BCSO K9 unit for their support every Christmas, " said Bob Costa, Director of Foster Care Programs at JRI. "It makes a big difference in the lives of our children. It is a good community outreach program.”
“We are happy to give back each season. This was a weeks-long team effort by all of the members of the K9 unit," said BCSO Captain Jeff Williams, head of the BCSO K9 unit. "We will support JRI foster children as long as we can.”
