Cram the Cruiser food drive kicks off

The Kentucky State Police will kick off their fifth annual Cram the Cruiser food drive on Friday. 

Food collection sites have been established at all 16 posts throughout the state and at the agency’s headquarters in Frankfort. The campaign extends through Dec. 16 and is designed to collect non-perishable food items for those in need.

The food will be distributed to local shelters, churches or other organizations serving those in need during the holiday season. Suggested donations include canned fruit and vegetables, canned meat, macaroni and cheese, cereal, peanut butter, jelly, canned soups, chili or spaghetti sauce, brownie and cake mixes, coffee, water, powdered milk and juices.

Donations can be dropped off at any KSP Post. KSP Post 2 Madisonville is located on the Western Kentucky Parkway.  

Visit the KSP website at kentuckystatepolice.org for a listing of the post locations.
