Waco PD's 4th Annual Back to School Bash

The Waco PD Back-to-School Bash is approaching! It will take place on Saturday, July 27th, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Doris Miller Community Center.

This event offers free services to help local students prepare for the upcoming school year. The Waco Police Department will give away clear backpacks, school supplies, haircuts, immunizations, and more in conjunction with our community partners! Donations of school supplies are always welcome and can be dropped off at the Waco Police Department at any time.

National Adoption Event

Finding a friend just got easier! We're participating in the Bissell Pet Foundation’s Empty the Shelters National Adoption Event. Thanks to Bissell Pet Foundation’s sponsorship, dogs and cats over one-year-old are free to adopt, and puppies and kittens under one year old are only $50! The summer adoption event runs through July 31.

Donate to the Animal Shelter

The Waco Animal Shelter needs your help, Waco!
With higher temps on the horizon, the pups waiting for their forever homes at the

Waco Animal Shelter could use some items to make their summer more bearable, including:
• Kiddie pools (to cool off in)
• Shelf-stable wet food (to freeze into pupsicles!)
• Frisbees (for play and to hold frozen enrichment foods)
• Benebone-type chew toys (to fight boredom when it's too hot to do as much outside!)

You can drop off your donations at any of the four Waco-McLennan County Library locations in the provided bins or at the Waco Animal Shelter (2032 Circle Road)!

Cool the Heat

Join the Waco Fire Department in their ‘Cool the Heat’ fan program, benefiting Waco’s most vulnerable residents during extreme heat emergencies.
