Charitable Connections
Winter Wool Campaign
From November 1, 2020, to March 1, 2020, our officers will be growing out their beards to help make sure the kids in our community have a happy holiday season. Children have been drastically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Charlottesville Police Department wants to ensure they get everything they need just in time for the holidays by partnering with Toy Lift Charities. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for Toy Lift by December 15. Click here to make donation.
Holiday Clothing Drive
The Charlottesville Police Department is making sure our unsheltered and homeless populations stay warm this winter, and we're asking for your help to make that possible. If you have clothing you would like to donate and give it to those in need, please contact Officer Todd Lucas (lucast@charlottesville.gov).
Des Money Honey Designs
Destiny Johnson, a 12-year-old entrepeneur from Charlottesville and owner of Mask Up Cville, is creating masks and other items to raise money to help feed people in need. Destiny recently parterned with the Charlottesville Police Department to create masks for Charlottesville Night Out, and she still needs to help to make sure no one goes hungry this holiday season. Please email her at 08DMHD@gmail.com for more information.
Bags of Hope
Myra Anderson, founder of Brave Souls on Fire, is creating holiday-style stockings for those suffering from mental health crises. Similar to Bags of Hope, the stockings will be distributed to Charlottesville Police Department officers to hand out when they respond to calls involving mental health crises. If you would like to make a donation, please contact Myra Anderson at bravesoulscville@yahoo.com
