URGENT UPDATE: The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) has just announced the launch of its highly anticipated annual Explorers Christmas Project, calling on the community to donate new, unwrapped toys for children up to 14 years old. This initiative aims to spread holiday cheer to families facing financial difficulties during this festive season.
In a heartfelt message shared on social media, the CMPD emphasized the importance of community support, stating, “Every year our CMPD Explorers Christmas Project helps bring holiday cheer to families in need.” The need for contributions is pressing, as the deadline for donations is set for December 21, 2023.
Residents of Charlotte-Mecklenburg are encouraged to drop off their toy donations at any CMPD division office or the Law Enforcement Center. This call to action seeks to illuminate the spirit of giving, especially as temperatures drop and the nights grow longer. The CMPD urges community members to “Help us spread joy to families in need this holiday season!”
The Explorers Christmas Project has a long-standing tradition of fostering joy among families who may be struggling. Last year, the initiative successfully provided toys for hundreds of children, creating a positive impact in the community.

With the urgency of this holiday appeal, the CMPD is looking for donations that can make a difference in the lives of local children. By participating, residents can contribute to a collective effort that emphasizes compassion and support for families in need.
Community members are reminded that every contribution counts, no matter the size. As the deadline approaches, the CMPD is counting on the generosity of Charlotte-Mecklenburg to ensure that every child experiences the joy of receiving a gift this Christmas.
