NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—For the past eight years, local resident Dotty McDonald has made it her mission to raise funds to purchase gift cards from local eateries and donate them to the officers and staff of the Newport Beach Police Department (NBPD).

The spry 94-year-old says it’s her way of giving back to those who give so much to the community.
