The Carmel Police Department (CPD) has announced the second annual Holidays with Heroes.

Last year, CPD was able to help make the holiday season a little less stressful for families with financial challenges. With the generosity of local businesses and private donors, officers helped bring holiday smiles to 40 children from 17 families. CPD is excited to continue Holidays with Heroes this year, but the community’s help is needed.

The fundraising goal for this year’s event is $10,000. That would allow for a budget of $250 for each child, as well as stockings and snacks.

Officer Sarah Livingston offered to participate in a contest to complete fun tasks when each of four fundraising milestones are reached. Watch this video to learn more.

Donations can be dropped off at CPD Headquarters or mailed to Holidays with Heroes, Carmel Police Department, 3 Civic Square, Carmel, IN 46032. Donations will be accepted via cash or check. Checks should be payable to the Carmel Police Department Gift Fund and have “Holidays with Heroes” in the memo line.
