LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — This Christmas, several county agencies have once again partnered with churches, schools and other organizations to bring Christmas to children in need.

Every year, the Lake County District Attorney’s Office Victim/Witness Division assists over 1,000 people through their traumatic experiences, and many of them are
children.

It has been a long-standing tradition during Christmas, where the Victim/Witness Division teams up with local organizations and law enforcement agencies around the lake to spread holiday cheer.

The local organizations supply all the gifts, and the law enforcement agencies deliver the gifts to bring a brighter Christmas to the children that have experienced trauma. 

This year, they delivered presents to 92 children in our community, and they said they could not have done it without the assistance and generosity of several people and organizations.

Those who assisted the effort include the Guy Fieri Foundation, Pastor Rick Barnes, Pastor David Moon-Wainwright, Lake County Bible Fellowship, United Christian Parish, Rotary Club of Lakeport, Galilee Lutheran Church, Konocti Christian Academy, Lake County Auditor’s Office and the Lake County Assessor-Recorder’s Office.

The Victim/Witness Division offered huge thanks to the law enforcement partners who every year assist them in delivering all the gifts.

Those partners include the Clearlake Police Department, Lake County Sheriff’s Office, Lakeport Police Department and Lake County Probation.
