Surfside Unites: Gift Cards and Food Drive Bring Holiday Cheer to Needy Families

SURFSIDE UNITES: GIFT CARDS AND FOOD DRIVE BRING HOLIDAY CHEER TO NEEDY FAMILIES

In a collaborative effort to spread holiday warmth and support, the Town of Surfside assisted the Community Policing Relations Foundation to generously donate Publix gift cards to families facing hardships this festive season.

Teaming up with Casa Church, the Surfside Police Department played a pivotal role in identifying and distributing Publix gift cards to families requiring additional assistance during the holidays. The partnership exemplifies a proactive approach to community policing, fostering a strong bond between law enforcement and the local community.

Additionally, Church by the Sea, in partnership with the Town, organized a food drive and the Surfside Police personnel took the lead in delivering the accumulated donations to the North Dade Domestic Violence Shelter.

The collaboration between the Town of Surfside, the Community Policing Relations Foundation, Casa Church, and Church by the Sea showcases the power of unity in fostering positive change. By combining resources and efforts, Surfside demonstrates that a community working together can create a meaningful impact on the lives of its residents.
