The DeKalb County Drug Court program hosted its 6th annual Drug Court Children’s Christmas party and also held a graduation ceremony for two participants on December 15.
Each year, the DeKalb County Drug Court organizes a day for the participants and their children to come together to celebrate their recovery and the joy of being with family. This year’s event attendees included Drug Court alumni who joined current participants and their families along with Drug Court staff for dinner and of course Santa Claus came to deliver presents! Once again, DeKalb County Drug Court was over joyed at the amount of donations and gifts the community provided. The staff and participants would especially like to thank the Smithville Church of Christ, Omega House and Sober Living Services staff, Haven of Hope Counseling and the private residents of DeKalb County for making donations that were able to give 26 children of DeKalb County presents and Christmas cheer.
