Troy Police Collecting Holiday Gift And Food Donations

TROY, MI — Want to help make a Troy resident's holiday special this year? The Troy Police Department is collecting gifts, food and clothes for Troy families, children and seniors in need as part of the 22nd Annual Troy Police Food and Gift Drive.

In a statement, Troy Police Chief Gary Mayer said, “For families and individuals in need, the holiday season can be particularly hard. We have been fortunate to work with so many generous donors in the community and connect them with Troy residents who truly need and appreciate the help.”

How can you help?

1.) You can “adopt a family" and provide all of their holiday gifts and food. For more information, contact Officer Russ Barrows at barrowsrw@troymi.gov or 248-680-7223 preferably by November 16, 2016.

2.) You can drop off food for Troy residents at the Troy Police Department (500 W. Big Beaver Rd., Troy) or drop off a check payable to "Alliance Mobile Health" at the Troy Police Department. Your money will be used to buy gifts for Troy residents that otherwise wouldn't have anything to open this holiday.
