Today, LAPD Mission Officers had the great opportunity to partner with Children's Hospital of Los Angeles volunteers in delivering Christmas presents to needy families in the communities of Arleta and Panorama City.
Maggie Compton, who's young son is a cancer survivor, said that she and her family like to pay it forward after all the help her family received while her son was at Children's Hospital.
She added that several other volunteers distribute the many toys that are donated to approximately 500 families who's children receive extensive care at Children's Hospital.
The families were very appreciative of the fact that they did not have to worry about buying gifts, and be able to focus on the continuous care that their children require.
