Dover Police Department Seeks Donations for 14th Annual Holiday Heroes Event

The Dover Police Department is requesting community donations for its 14th annual Holiday Heroes shopping event. This initiative aims to provide holiday shopping trips for local children in need during December. The department will accept cash and Target gift card donations until Monday, December 7, 2026. Each year, Dover Police collaborates with teachers and counselors from the Capital School District to identify students who could benefit from additional support during the holiday season. Dover officers and support staff then accompany these children on shopping trips to the Dover Target store, where they can select gifts for family members, items for themselves, and essential needs such as winter coats, shoes, and hygiene products. The success and scale of the event depend directly on the amount of donations received from residents, local businesses, and Target.
