To protect, serve and deliver

Ryan Cunningham/Contributing Photographer The Murphy Police Department is helping deliver care packages to homeless people in the community. The brightly colored bags include items like blankets, caps, socks, a variety of toiletries and other items. The packages are given with compassion to help bring some comfort to those in need. Murphy police officers will be handing them out to folks they see needing a bit of extra care this Christmas season. The gift bags were put together by generous members of the Texana Community Development Club. From left are Cpl.
