The Oxford Police Department is collecting winter items—including coats, scarves, hats, gloves, and snow boots—to help our neighbors stay warm this season. Donations can be dropped off at Casey’s, Oxford Elementary, and Oxford Jr./Sr. High School.

❤️ Your Kindness Matters! ❤️

Every donation helps a neighbor stay warm this winter season. If you’ve been meaning to sort through those closets, this is the perfect opportunity to help someone in our community.
 

If you or someone in your household needs a winter coat, please contact the Oxford Police Department at 620-445-3225. We’ll do our best to make sure everyone in our community stays warm this winter.

Thank you for your generosity and support!   ❄️ ⛄️ 🧤 🧣 🧥

The Library will be undergoing a face lift with new paint next week so they will need to adjust their hours and will only be open from 1pm-3pm on November 24th & 25th and then closed the 26th-28th. They will reopen to the public on Monday December 1st.

The Oxford Police Department will be working on ensuring safe arrivals during the Holiday Season and one of those programs is the Thanksgiving Safe Arrival running November 22nd - 29th.  During this time increase patrols will be looking for seatbelt wearing.
