Our Programs

Shop with a Hero/Stuff a Truck

This program is designed to aid families of Holly Springs by providing gifts to children in need during the holiday season through partnership with the Holly Springs Police and community businesses. Financial donations are accepted throughout the year to fund a day of shopping with an officer. Donations of new toys are used to fill the department’s Humvee which the officers deliver to area children at Christmastime.

Equipment and Education

This program is designed to support the purchase and use of special equipment, training, and education for the Holly Springs Police Department.  In 2018 FoHS provided necessary bicycle equipment for the Bike Patrol bicycles.

Naloxone Opioid Overdose Prevention

In recent years, the use of prescription pain medications, especially when combined with alcohol or street drugs, have contributed significantly to the increase in accidental deaths.  This project was designed to adopt our commitment to reducing opioid overdoses in the Holly Springs community and to improve the health of our residents who are affected by addiction.  This project equips all Holly Springs Police patrol vehicles with intranasal spray containing Naloxone, a medication that reverses an overdose caused by an opioid prescriptions such as Percocet and OxyContin and street drugs such as heroin.  The Holly Springs Police Department is the first in Georgia to carry such lifesaving devices after the passage of laws allowing them to do such.
