Hello everyone, I am the Chief of Police in Bethesda, Ohio. We are gathering resources for our 4th Annual Christmas with Cops event for Bethesda and Belmont.

Thank you to EVERYONE who donated time, money, toys, talent and skills for the past three years. The seniors from Bethesda and Belmont Ohio help sort and wrap gifts. We have volunteers from several communities, the Police Officers from Bethesda Police Department and of course Santa Clause who helps with the Event. We have also had Mrs. Clause and the Grinch show up to visit with the children.

For our Christmas with Cops 2025 Celebration will continue to provide Christmas gifts, lunch and snacks to ALL participating children from the Community. If we receive enough support, we can do more.

If we raise enough, I would like to have Breakfast with Santa Claus, the Grinch and my Officers. No child will be left gift less in Bethesda, Belmont or Goshen Township

If you have children up to age 18, please sign them up to attend.

*All children from The Village of Bethesda and Village of Belmont as well as those children in Goshen Township in Belmont County Ohio may participate.

**We will need your Child's name, male or female, age, mailing address, email and phone number as well as the parent's or guardian's names.

*** Last year we had separate accounts for Belmont and Bethesda however, I combined both to ensure No child went without a gift in these great towns.

I would still like to include your children if you do not celebrate Christmas. Registration forms will be available in October 2025.

Donations of new, unopened toys can be left at city hall. Monetary donations can be left there, or you can donate here through GOFUNDME. Please make checks out to Bethesda Police Department and write CHRISTMAS WITH COPS 2024 in the memo line. Please mail them to BETHESDA POLICE DEPARTMENT, 112 Main Street, P.O. Box 95, Bethesda, Ohio 43719.

Our goal is $7,500.00 in donations to cover all expenses.

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

Christopher Storm
