KCKPD Halloween Donation Drive
Thank you to all who took part in the recent KCKPD Halloween Costume Donation Drive on 10/23. This was a great opportunity for our community to give back to kids this time of year. Major Wallace with KCKPD East Patrol extended gratitude for this overwhelming support. FIA and other Fairfax businesses donated costumes. Special shout out to Kellanova as they provided a fan favorite: CHEEZ-ITs for the party!
Above all, this was a great way for the police officers to interact with their community in a positive way!
