As part of the Metra Police Department's ongoing mission of community engagement, our officers are constantly looking for opportunities to give back to the communities that we serve.
Recently MPD officers partnered with a local retailer to purchase Christmas gifts for sick children that will be hospitalized over the holidays. Officers teamed up with a child life specialist from Comer Children's Hospital at the University of Chicago and were able to purchase gifts for kids that may otherwise have few things to look forward to on Christmas morning. This simple act made the lives of parents who have a child currently hospitalized less anxious by taking some of the holiday-related stress away so that can focus on attending to their kids.
Comer accepts both monetary donations and purchases off of their Amazon Wish List all year long, with a strong need for infant/toddler and teen items! Please visit the link below for more information on how you can make a difference. To our customers and stakeholders, we wish you all the happiest and healthiest of holiday seasons! https://bit.ly/3GTW908
In the Winter Edition of My Metra Magazine, there’s a commemorative model train we hope will bring you joy during the holidays. We’d love to see photos of your completed train — use the hashtag #MetraModelTrain for a chance to be featured on our page! https://metra.com/modeltrain
