On Saturday, November 12, the San Rafael Police Department was honored to participate in Target’s, “Heroes & Helpers” event.  They partnered with Target stores, the Salvation Army San Rafael, and the San Rafael Police Association to support youth in our community.

Thanks to this collaborative effort, 41 high school-aged youth were provided with the opportunity to go on a shopping spree for necessities, clothing, school supplies, and personal care items – all with the support of SRPD personnel who joined them throughout the morning.

Events like “Heroes & Helpers” remind us of what community partnership is all about: coming together to support, uplift, and empower the young people who represent San Rafael’s future.

A huge Thank you to Target, the Salvation Army San Rafael, and the SRPA for providing funding for this effort, and to everyone who made this day meaningful for our youth.
