Hurricane Harvey Help
In response to Hurricane Harvey, several of you have asked how you can help and have been curious as to what the Grand Prairie Police Department is doing to assist. You have the opportunity to help several people who have flocked to the City of Dallas.
If you’re wondering what supplies are needed most, please consider donating the following:
-New underwear and socks
-New warm ups for men, women, children and infants,
-Toiletries
-Baby formula
-Baby wipes
-Bottles
-Diapers
Additionally, we have been advised that over 300 pets are expected along with their owners. There is a need for:
-Cat Litter
-Litter Boxes
-Towels
-Blankets
-Treats
-Toys
Drop-off locations include:
-City Hall Front Lobby
-Public Safety Building Front Lobby
– (If you choose to drop-off items at either of these locations, please do so before Noon on Friday.)
-Sealed Air (2401 Dillard Street in Grand Prairie) – accepting donations on Thursday and Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at 972-237-7549. The Grand Prairie Police Department deployed seven SWAT Officers earlier this week who assisted in over 65 water rescues which resulted in saving several people’s lives.
An additional 12 officers and one sergeant will roll out tomorrow morning to help the Houston Police Department with patrol.
Locally, five GPPD officers are assisting with security at the Dallas Mega Shelter. This is the true spirit of Texas and we couldn’t do it without the support of our City and community members.
Thank you and stay safe!
