Children and families are invited to the South Bend Police Department for the Fraternal Order of Police  #36 “Cookies with Santa” event.

Families can stop at police headquarters on Sample Street to enjoy cookies and have a free photo taken with Saint Nick.

The event runs from 5 until 8 on Friday night, Dec. 6.

If you plan to attend, please enter through the Training and Recruitment entrance, located along Sample on the west side.

The event is free, but donations will be accepted for the Santa’s Elficers program.
