Michael Phillips+FollowCharlotte police spread holiday cheer citywideCMPD officers and volunteers just delivered a wave of hope across Charlotte, making sure families facing tough times don’t miss out on the magic of Christmas. For over 50 years, the CMPD Explorers Christmas Project has quietly stepped up for thousands of local families—packing up meals, warm clothes, and toys, then hitting the streets to spread real joy. This isn’t just about policing; it’s about neighbors helping neighbors. With donations running low this year, every bit of support counts. How do you think efforts like this shape our community? Have you ever been part of something similar? #Safety #Charlotte #CMPD00Share
meadowsmary+FollowCharlotte’s toy drive faces tough yearHundreds of Charlotte kids might miss out on Christmas gifts this year, but CMPD is determined to keep the holiday spirit alive. Their annual toy drive is short about $30,000 and trying to help a thousand more children than last year. The warehouse that was once overflowing with bikes and toys is now looking a little sparse. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference for families who are counting on a little holiday magic. If you want to pitch in, you can drop toys at any CMPD or Charlotte Fire station, or even donate online. How do you think we can rally more support this season? #Safety #Charlotte #CMPD00Share
