Oxford Police Department Seeks Clothing Donations After Family Loses Home to Fire
OXFORD, Ala. – The Oxford Police Department is rallying community support for a local family who recently endured a devastating house fire in Hobson City. The incident occurred on September 16 around 9 a.m., resulting in severe fire, smoke, and water damage to their home, with the blaze believed to have been caused by a short-circuited electrical appliance.
In a heartwarming gesture, Officer Miranda Schoening and her K9 partner, Havoc, visited the affected family, bringing toys to offer a glimmer of joy during this challenging time. As the family works to rebuild their lives, they are urgently seeking clothing donations to help them recover from their loss.
The Police Department is facilitating the donation process and has provided specific clothing sizes needed for each family member. These include various sizes for children and adults, such as shirts ranging from sizes 3T to 4XL and pants in multiple sizes, alongside footwear and underwear.
Community members interested in helping are encouraged to deliver donations directly to the Oxford Police Department. Additionally, the local Fire Department has enlisted the assistance of the Red Cross to support the family in their time of need. This initiative not only highlights the strength of community solidarity but also emphasizes the importance of compassion during difficult times.
