Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni stated, “I am so proud of the many members of my staff who have stepped forward and exhibited such generosity for these children. The kids involved in this initiative come from some difficult circumstances and this helps to give them a joyful experience during the holiday season. This is what the season is all about. ”

The Hampden District Attorney’s Office is given dozens of list put together for each specific child from the MSPCC to assist them in buying gifts.
