Temperatures are dropping, and the Kannapolis Police Department is responding with more than just public safety measures—they're spearheading a coat drive to warm up local kids in need. Kannapolis officers are asking residents to step up and donate coats for students ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade, an effort that will run through next Monday.
The department detailed their winter apparel campaign on social media, with a plea for new and gently used coats, "Coats will be distributed to Kannapolis students, grades K-12, all sizes are needed." Donations can be made directly at the Kannapolis Police Department lobby, located at 401 Laureate Way, offering an accessible drop-off point for residents to contribute. Those interested in contributing can find more details and spread the word about the coat drive by visiting the Kannapolis Police Department's social media post.
