As the years passed the tradition continued and slowly grew from the original 3 families we helped in 1976 to over 100 as friends and neighbors joined us contributing their time and money. For 35 years the project was called the Corrigan’s Christmas Grocery Delivery and operated out of a simple checking account. As it grew, the reality of the size, it needed to become more formally structured. With the help of Lance Bruun, my attorney friend, and Rudy Sturgeon, my CPA, the organization became a for real 501C corporation and the name was changed to POCA, Police Officers Christmas Angels. During the more recent formative years two partners that have come to the forefront have been HEB, Alameda and Robert, and CCPD lead by Office Javier Cantu. We could not make it without HEB’s patience and organizational skills and CCPD’s efforts in finding the families that need the most help and their 15 Officers leading each delivery team to make each delivery possible, and all on their own personal time and expense.
