Detroit, MI – Residents looking for a warm place to spend part of Christmas Day can head to Detroit’s west side, where police officers are opening their doors for a free community brunch Thursday.
According to the Detroit Police Department, the 12th Precinct is hosting its second annual Christmas Brunch on Thursday, December 25, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, offering food, fellowship, and a chance for neighbors to connect with officers in a relaxed setting.
The brunch will be held at the 12th Precinct, located at 1441 W. 7 Mile Road, serving residents in northwest Detroit and surrounding Wayne County neighborhoods. Police say the event is designed to support families and individuals who may be spending the holiday alone or facing financial hardship.
Officials emphasized that no prior connection to law enforcement is required to attend. The brunch is intended as a welcoming, inclusive community gathering during the holiday season.
Residents are encouraged to RSVP in advance, though walk-ins may be accommodated while supplies last. Those seeking more information can contact Sgt. LaShanna McGhee at 313-596-1221 or via email at mcgheel764@detroitmi.gov.
Community-focused events like this have become an increasing part of Detroit police outreach efforts, particularly during major holidays, as departments look to build trust and strengthen relationships with the neighborhoods they serve.
Anyone nearby on Christmas Day is invited to stop by, enjoy a hot meal, and share the holiday spirit with fellow residents and local officers.
