Assuring Holiday Cheer for Those in Need

Assuring Holiday Cheer for Those in Need – The Aransas Pass Police Department is involved with several charitable events during the holiday season. Spreading the holiday cheer would not be possible without your help and support. Thank you all for all you do to support the police department and our community this holiday season!

Cops for Tots & Holiday Meal Drive

cops for totsIt’s not too late to participate in the upcoming Cops for Tots Car Show and Toy Drive! With less than a month away, we’re still gearing up and hoping to make this years event even more successful than all years prior.  Learn more about the Cops for Tots Car Show and Toy drive here.

Monetary donations are used for both toys, when needed, and our holiday meal drive.  The holiday meal drive supports families in need, providing each with a traditional holiday meal during both Thanksgiving and Christmas.   These meals kits are hand delivered by Aransas Pass police officers days before the holiday.  Each year with your support, we feed around 20-40 families per holiday.

Shop with a Cop

This Christmas season marks the second year “Shop with a Cop” will be in Aransas Pass, Texas.

On December 18th, 2015, “Shop with a Cop” will kick off at the Aransas Pass Walmart located at 2501 W. Wheeler Avenue. Several students from APISD will be selected for this event.  Selection is on the basis of need.  The kiddos will shop and then be fed a nice lunch from a local restaurant.

It’s not too late to donate to this event.  Find that info below.

We appreciate all the community support for these events. Happy Holidays!
