On Friday, Dec. 8, from 3-7 p.m., the Oxford Police Department will be collecting donations for Commodores Care and Little Pantries in front of Walmart on Jackson Avenue. This will be one of the first initiatives of the OPD Wellness Team.

The OPD Wellness Team is a new entity within the department that focuses on the health and well being of all employees within the department, as well as coming up with outreach opportunities for this community.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Commodores Care and Little Pantries,” said Chief Jeff McCutchen. “These are two great organizations that really help those in need throughout our community. We are blessed to live in a community where we rally around each other. We cannot think of a better time than right here at Christmas! We hope for a great turnout at the drive.”

If you are interested in donating to this drive, please see the attached list of items requested on the flyer.
