Kentucky State Police Commissioner Rodney Brewer announced this week that the agency’s 'Cram the Cruiser' food drive netted 62 tons of food statewide.
Post 2 in Madisonville, which serves Crittenden County, gathered 3 tons of food and monetary donations that were used to purchase additional, non-perishable food items. The food was then transported to local agencies which help those in need in the Post 2 District.
Brewer initiated the program in 2010 to assist needy families in Kentucky. Since that time, the agency has contributed more than 150 tons of food to shelters, food banks and churches across the Commonwealth.
"The Kentucky State Police continue to maintain the traditions of service that our agency was founded on over 65 years ago,” says Brewer. “Helping those in need is a fundamental part of our mission throughout rural Kentucky."
