In a collaborative effort with the Fraternal Order of Police, Queen City Lodge #10, effective November 1, 2019, the Allentown Police Department will implement \u201cNo Shave November\u201d and \u201cNo Shave December.\u201d The purpose of this program is to enable Allentown Police Officers to give back to the community, in which they serve, by making charitable donations to deserving organizations and groups of people within the City of Allentown. Officers will donate money in order to forgo the department policy limiting facial hair.<\/p>\n
The donations made in November will support APD\u2019s annual \u201cShop With A Cop\u201d program benefiting the families of the Sixth Street Shelter. That event will occur the week of December 16, 2019. The December donations will benefit those affected by homelessness in the City of Allentown as determined by the Fraternal Order of Police. Many of APD\u2019s support staff also participate in this fundraiser and help to make our \u201cShop With A Cop\u201d event possible.<\/p>\n
The Paramedics of the City of Allentown\u2019s EMS Department will also be participating in \u201cNo Shave November\u201d and their donations from the months of November and December will be used to support efforts to end pediatric cancer.<\/p>\n
Anyone who is interested in supporting the efforts of APD\u2019s \u201cNo Shave November,\u201d can submit donations to the Chief\u2019s Office (listed above). Donations should be made payable to the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #10 and should include the notation, \u201cNo Shave November.\u201d<\/p>\n
