MARTINSBURG—For nearly 35 years, members of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 83 has brought holiday cheer to children in the Eastern Panhandle through their Santa with a Badge event. This year was no exception as members once again arrived at Walmart in Spring Mills to create a holiday memory with children from more than 200 families.

The ‘Santa with a Badge’ project allows children, who are selected through established criteria and from referrals from schools, churches and other entities, to select $100 worth of items during their shopping time. Children range in age from infants to teens, some siblings and some single-child families. Families from all three counties in the Eastern Panhandle were served this year.
