In Gloversville, the local Walmart store recently donated $4,750 to the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office PBA to support its annual Holiday Gift Giveaway Program. The police union will soon be reaching out to area school districts to obtain a list of families they can help have a better holiday with donations of food, clothing and Christmas gifts. Then they will be shopping for them and inviting them to the Sheriff’s Office prior to Christmas to receive their gifts.
