WPD handing out cold weather gear to those in need

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Thanks to an anonymous donation, Wilmington Police Officers will be carrying something a little extra with them in the coming day.

Scarves, mittens, hats all sit on a table at the police department. Some handmade, some new with tags, all items meant to help keep you warm.

Officers have been invited to pick up the items and when they’re out patrolling, they will hand them out when they see someone in need.

WPD says it was an anonymous, generous donation that came at the right time.
