GEORGETOWN, MA (WHDH) — The Georgetown Police Department honored an 8-year-old girl Tuesday, thanking her for bringing care packages to the department as a Thanksgiving gift.
Alanna Brown put together 30 care packages full of items that officers may need while on-duty like candy, mints and Chapsticks. She said it is her way of thanking them for their service.
“I wanted to be nice to the police officers and give them something for Thanksgiving,” said Alanna.
Alanna and her mother Bethany Brown have been making care packages for first responders since she was a toddler. It has since become a Thanksgiving tradition for them.
“We would bring cookies and goodies and things like that. And we’ve been doing that since she was about 3 years old,” said Brown. “This year, we decided to do something different.”
To show their gratitude, officers gifted Alanna with official Georgetown police gear, including a hooded sweatshirt.
“They were a great hit with the department and we’re really thankful to have a nice new friend like Alanna,” said Georgetown Police Chief Donald Cudmore.
