Cornelius Police Launch Holiday Adopt-A-Family Gift Campaign

CORNELIUS, NC — The holidays are approaching and the Cornelius Police Department is launching its annual program aimed at making sure others less fortunate in the community have little cheer.

The Cornelius Police Department is seeking individuals to sponsor its holiday Adopt-A-Family gift program. The deadline for registering as a sponsor is Nov. 29.

Here’s what the Town of Cornelius says about the program:

If you are interested in sponsoring a family, please fill out the [information form] by Friday, November 29 and we will match you with a family in Cornelius. Cornelius PD will provide you with a wish list from a family. We recommend 3 gifts per child, with a maximum dollar amount of $40.00 per item. We ask that you please follow this rule to keep it the same for all the families and sponsors. Please consider at least 1 clothing item and 2 items from the wish list. We are planning to meet at Cornelius Town Hall on Saturday, December 14 at 9:00am. Please bring all gifts wrapped and labeled to Town Hall and we will organize and deliver to the families.

Volunteers are welcome to assist with delivery! If you would like additional information, please contact Kristin Prescott or Corporal Smith at (704)892-1363.
