As the 2025-2026 academic school year approaches, the Clayton Police Department is hosting its annual Pack-a-Police Car event from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m., Saturday, August 9 at Walmart (805 Town Centre Blvd., Clayton). It will be collecting donations of school supplies for schools in the Town of Clayton.
The school supply drive supports students across elementary, middle, and high schools in Clayton. Contributions can help provide essential resources such as pencils, notebooks, and other educational materials, ensuring that each student starts the year fully prepared and equipped for success.
"At the Clayton Police Department, our mission goes beyond public safety. It’s about supporting every member of our community, especially our youth,” said Police Chief Greg Tart. “As students prepare to head back to school, we want to make sure no child faces the school year without the basic tools they need to succeed. We are proud to partner with our community residents and businesses to help make this a successful school year for all students."
