URGENT UPDATE: The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) has just launched its annual Explorers Christmas Project, inviting the community to donate new, unwrapped toys for children up to 14 years old. This initiative aims to support families in need during the holiday season and is calling for immediate action from residents to help spread joy.
In a recent social media announcement, CMPD stated, “Every year our CMPD Explorers Christmas Project helps bring holiday cheer to families in need.” The department is urging citizens to contribute by dropping off toys at any division office or the Law Enforcement Center by the deadline of December 21, 2023. This is a critical time to assist those facing challenges as the holidays approach.
As temperatures drop, the spirit of giving is essential to warming hearts across the community. CMPD officials emphasize the importance of communal support, saying, “Help us spread joy to families in need this holiday season!” This message resonates deeply as many local families navigate difficult circumstances during this festive time.
The CMPD Explorers Christmas Project has a rich history of fostering goodwill and providing support to those who need it most. Last year, the initiative successfully delivered thousands of toys, creating unforgettable holiday memories for children in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
With your help, this year’s project can surpass previous efforts. Donors are encouraged to select toys that are appropriate for children aged 0-14, ensuring a wide range of gifts for different age groups. The community’s participation in this project can make a significant difference, turning the tide of hardship into a season of joy.
Residents are urged to take action immediately. Toys can be dropped off at any CMPD division office or the Law Enforcement Center, located at 601 East Trade Street, Charlotte, NC. Every contribution counts and is a step towards brightening the holidays for families facing challenges.
The CMPD is counting on the kindness and generosity of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg community to make this project a success. This is a unique opportunity to show support and foster a sense of unity during the holiday season.
