LEE'S SUMMIT, Mo. — For the last several years, the Lee's Summit Police Department has received a stack of envelopes with cash inside from an anonymous donor or secret Santa. The anonymous resident asked officers to spread Christmas cheer by giving the money to people in need in the community. This year, LSPD received 100 envelopes.  Taylor Swift makes $250,000 donation to Kansas City nonprofit “It's a Lee's Summit resident who would like to remain anonymous, and he just has said that he has been given good fortune in life, and he would like to pay that forward,” said LSPD Community Interactions Officer Kelly Johnson. “So he has asked the police department to do it on his behalf.” Over the weekend, LSPD shared videos on social media showing people’s reactions to surprise cash gifts.  “It always tends to go to the right people, and they're always very thankful for the generosity,” Johnson explained. LSPD also works with non-profits and other local organizations to identify people who are in need this holiday season.  “We went to a local cancer center this morning, and they identified a couple of people who were in need of a little extra money during the Christmas period,” Johnson said. “So we were able to give them some money. We try to find a need within our community to be able to do some good, positive outreach during this time. So we're blessed to be able to do it on his behalf.” Officers are grateful for the opportunity to deliver the secret Santa's donations and brighten people's day.  “We don't always get to do the fun part of policing. Sometimes, it's meeting people on their worst days. So this has been an opportunity for us to go out into the community and just say, ‘hey, we'd like to gift you something on behalf of someone else,’” Johnson explained. “We kind of get to be that liaison and give some Christmas cheer to people, which is awesome for us.” Missouri couple wins $100k off Scratchers ticket from State Line QuikTrip Over the weekend, LSPD shared videos on social media showing officers handing out envelopes, which led to a ripple effect of good deeds.  “We were able to post a story on social media just explaining what we were out in the community doing and the opportunity that we were given, and that brought forth other people who are like, ‘Hey, we have a little extra we'd like to give, can you guys deliver this?’ So we've had a couple extra Secret Santa's come forward just this past weekend,” Johnson said.
