The Medford Police Association (MPA) made some special deliveries in time for Christmas!

Five local organizations - CASA, Youth 715 Ministries, Rogue Valley Mentoring, Reclaiming Lives, and Southern Oregon Humane Society - were each presented with a check for $2,500 to support their impact.

In addition to these donations, the MPA supported the Medford Police Department's (MPD) No Shave November initiative, during which MPD employees grew facial hair to support local cancer care and research. This fundraiser raised a total of $2,500, which was presented to the Asante Foundation and the Heimann Cancer Care Center.  The funds will go to their Compassion fund, which provides assistance to patients in financial need.

The Medford Police Association (MPA) is a public benefit nonprofit corporation funded by Medford Police Department employees. The purpose of the MPA is to enhance public safety and promote the well-being of the community through charitable and educational activities. The MPA strives to help members of our community and Medford Police Family through donations, scholarships, and fundraising opportunities during times of need.

We're proud to come alongside these organizations and support the vital work they do in this community!
