2nd Annual Fallen Officers Food Drive Update
Posted on November 30, 2011We’re off to a great start on the 2nd Annual Fallen Officers Food Drive! On the first day, we received 26,000 POUNDS of food and $21,600 in cash donations!! We’re on pace to reach or surpass our goal of 50,000 pounds of food and $50,000 in cash.
We really appreciate all the help we’ve received from the media in getting the word out on our Food Drive this year. It would not be a success without your help! Everyone did a fantastic job of covering our event yesterday and we received lots of positive feedback on the coverage.
If possible, please continue to notify the public of our progress and that donations will be accepted through December 5th. I will continue to send out updates on our food and cash totals. We’re hoping to keep the first day momentum through the end of the drive.
Donations may be dropped off at the Lakewood Police Station and will also be accepted at all Forza Coffee locations, Pierce County Library branches, and Lakewood Hardware.
Donations will also be accepted at the Emergency Food Network’s website (www.efoodnet.org) and you can TEXT your donation to 85944.
