Officers have just put the finishing touches on the baskets, which are ready to be delivered. More than 200 Nashville families will receive gifts of food and toys from Metro police officers this Christmas Eve morning through their Christmas Basket Program.
Families are chosen for the program at the recommendation of police officers who come into contact with them during the year. Contributions from police department personnel, and the Nashville community fund the program.
"Former Chief Joe Casey, who began this program in 1961, knew that the police department's mission was to make a positive difference in the lives of Nashville's families, especially the disadvantaged," Chief Steve Anderson said.
The Music City and Rivergate Chapters of the Harley Owners Group are significant contributors to the police department's Christmas Basket efforts.
The program is in it's 51st year. In it's inception, the program served two families.

By CHEVEL JOHNSON Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The sounds of country music take over the City of Baton Rouge as the Bayou Country Superfest brings some of the genre's biggest names to LSU's Tiger Stadium for a Memorial Day holiday jamfest.
Headlining Saturday are Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker and Aaron Lewis, the former frontman for rock band Staind. The two-day festival concludes Sunday with performances by Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.
Festival producer Quint Davis says the talent and free fan fest held before the nightly concerts help to entice attendees. In its fourth year, the festival drew 75,000 people last year.
Visit Baton Rouge executive vice president Renee Areng says Superfest has encouraged people to travel to Baton Rouge on a traditionally sleepy weekend.
