Statesville Police Department Junior Ambassadors Help Serve More Than 400 at Cozy Up to Fall Event

Last Updated 11/10/2025Posted in Junior Ambassadors, Police News

The Statesville Police Department’s Junior Ambassadors showed up in a big way this past weekend - lending a helping hand and plenty of heart at the Cozy Up to Fall community event, hosted by Foundation of Hope Ministries.

Together, our ambassadors and SPD officers helped serve more than 400 people, making sure everyone enjoyed a warm meal and a welcoming atmosphere. Officers fired up the grill to prepare lunch, while volunteers distributed coats, hats, gloves, and blankets to help families stay warm as temperatures drop.

The event also featured kid-friendly activities, bringing smiles and laughter to the day and strengthening the sense of community connection that makes Statesville special.

We’re proud of our Junior Ambassadors for their dedication to service and thankful for the Foundation of Hope Ministries and all the volunteers who helped make the day such a success.

At SPD, we believe that community service is more than an act - it’s a reflection of who we are. Events like this remind us that when we come together, we can make a real difference.
