The DeKalb County Police Department is gearing up for its 5th Annual Winter Clothing Drive, a much-anticipated event for both the department and the community at large. Set to take place on Tuesday, from the hours of 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., locals are invited to drive through the grounds of the DeKalb Police Headquarters at 1960 W. Exchange Pl. Tucker, Ga., to drop off their donations. These contributions will to go towards supporting community members who find themselves in dire need of warm attire during the colder months.
With a focus on practical items, the DKPD is requesting donations of gently used shoes and coats, alongside new socks, catering to all sizes and genders. The drive-thru nature of the event simplifies the process of giving, allowing individuals to efficiently contribute without having to leave the comfort of their vehicles. This drive affirms the department's commitment to serve not only through law enforcement but also by addressing basic needs within the community.
For those interested in contributing or seeking additional details, inquiries can be directed to the public information officer, E. Wells, by reaching out at 404-333-9293. For more information on the 5th Annual Winter Clothing Drive, visit DeKalb County's official announcement.
