Marseilles, IL – The Marseilles Police Department is teaming up with Marseilles Elementary School, the Marseilles Lions Club, Labor Local Union 393, and several local churches to launch this year’s MES Christmas Connection — a holiday assistance program designed to support families in need.
According to the department, the initiative connects families with community partners to provide meaningful holiday help. Assistance options include Shop with a Cop, a Giving Tree, or Christmas baskets for families who may need extra support this season.
Each participating family fills out a short application form, which is then matched with a local organization or sponsor. Through this collaborative effort, local law enforcement and community partners aim to bring warmth and joy to Marseilles households during the holiday season.
Organizers say they’re proud to help make the holidays brighter for children and families across LaSalle County, emphasizing that the effort reflects the strong sense of community in the region.
