HOUSTON — Several Houston police officers spent this Thanksgiving holiday away from their families to give a helping hand to the people of Puerto Rico.

The Houston Police Department tweeted out several photos of officers helping out communities in Puerto Rico as they recover from the effects of Hurricane Maria.

The department said they are thankful to “bring hope and smiles to the community.”

The officers are part of multiple teams of Houston cops who volunteered to head to the island earlier this month after a nationwide request from FEMA, The New Haven Register reports.
