AROUND MENLO PARK
The Menlo Park Police Explorers begin their 7th annual coat drive. The need has never been greater and it's easy to make a difference in our community. Here is your opportunity to make sure that no one goes without such a basic necessity as a coat this winter.

Through January 6, 2019 , Police Explorers are collecting new or clean and gently used coats as part of the One Warm Coat community service project. Coats of all shapes and sizes are welcome.

Just bring your coats and jackets to the donation bin located in the Police Department lobby at 701 Laurel St., Menlo Park , 24 hours a day . The Menlo Park Police Explorers appreciate your help in making this program successful!
