TPD Donates Hundreds of Baby Supplies in Celebration of Giving Tuesday

December 03, 2024

In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) is proud to announce the donation of hundreds of baby supplies to local organizations supporting families in need. This significant contribution will benefit parents and caregivers struggling to provide essential items such as diapers, bottles, clothing, and more for their infants and toddlers.

This donation, which includes items generously provided by community and department members, will be distributed directly to local families through Refuge House, Brehon Family Services, Chelsea House, Camelot Community Care, and NWF Health Network. These organizations serve as vital local resources for families in the Tallahassee area and will be instrumental in providing care and support for citizens in need this holiday season.

"We're deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to this supply drive," said Chief of Police Lawrence Revell. "We know the challenges of raising a child can be overwhelming, and the holiday season can make it much more difficult. Through this donation, we hope to alleviate immediate challenges for local families, while simultaneously cultivating compassion and kindness in our community."

The inaugural supply drive, "Babies, Bottles, and Badges" marks the beginning of an annual tradition and is an integral part of TPD's ongoing commitment to fostering community relations beyond the call for service. Through this campaign, more than 400 essential infant care items were collected, reflecting the generosity and spirit of giving within the Tallahassee community. TPD hopes to expand the reach and impact of the baby supply drive each year.
