The
Dunwoody Police Department Christmas for Kids (CFK) program began in
2009 with the goal of bringing our community together to collect new and
unwrapped gifts for Dunwoody’s under-privileged children between the
ages of newborn to 15 years old.
Once
gifts are collected, the Dunwoody Police Department invites members of
the community to join our CFK team for a "Wrap-Up Event" in early
December to personalize a bag of individually wrapped gifts for each of
the 60 or so children who are honored at a private Christmas party later
in the month. Santa himself (along with his Elves and perhaps a Toy
Soldier or two!) appears at the private event to spend quality
one-on-one time with our honored guests and to distribute the gifts
personally.
CFK is unique in that the
Christmas party is an intimate affair for the pre-registered children
and their parents only. Keeping the party private allows our CFK team to
focus only on what’s important – the children and the joys of giving.
Christmas
for Kids is a community effort and is only made possible by the
generosity of our citizens, businesses, and other local organizations.
