In the heart of North Carolina, the Statesville Police Department's annual "Fill the Trailer Toy Drive" proved to be a heartwarming success on a December day that felt more akin to a sunny Florida Christmas. The department took to social media to express gratitude to the community, saying, "A big THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by and donated a toy." They emphasized that the generosity of those who participated will "make the season brighter for children right here in Statesville."
The police department reminded those who couldn't make it on the weekend that the toy drive will continue, announcing additional dates to participate: "Saturday, December 6 | 12–4 p.m." and "Saturday, December 13 | 12–4 p.m."
For donors favoring the ease of online shopping, the Statesville Police Department's efforts to streamline giving do not fall short. The department's initiative includes an Amazon Wish List, allowing options for direct shipment to SPD Headquarters for those disposed to shop remotely. Interested parties can access the list and contribute virtually via the link provided in their announcement. The department reiterated their message of thanks and echoed their commitment to keep the holiday spirit alive, "Your generosity will make the season brighter for children right here in Statesville."
