Turkey Giveaway

Fort Worth Metro is a nonprofit organization run by Ruth Calzada, wife of Officer Buddy Calzada. The organization is committed to serving inner city children and families most affected by poverty and crime. FWPD frequently partners with the organization to assist communities. Over 500 turkeys were provided to families in need in November.

Christmas Bike Giveaway

Fort Worth Metro had been delivering bikes to approximately 20 children in Stop Six’s Cavile Apartments and at Carter Park Elementary using a lottery system until December 2016, when they increased their goal to 60 bikes. Fort Worth Metro planned on increasing their goal to 100 in 2017. Instead, the Calzada children challenged their parents to provide enough bikes for all 500 children in those locations. The goal was reached and FWPD Neighborhood Police Officers and Command Staff were invited to help hand out the bikes. The event was held December 11-12 and included music and community information booths.
