Police Food Drives Help Support Needy In Hatboro-Horsham

HATBORO / HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — The Horsham Township Police Department is preparing for its annual Pack the Patrol Car Food Drive.

The police department will host the event at Horsham Giant on Horsham Road from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 11.

Donations will be delivered that day by patrol cars to the St. Vincent De Paul Food Bank on Witmer Road in Horsham.

Meanwhile, the Hatboro Borough Police Department participated in state Sen. Maria Collett's "Fill a Cop Car" food drive, held in partnership with the Upper Moreland Police Department.

Residents, businesses, and organizations collected

On Nov. 7, Hatboro Police filled their cruisers to the brim with the donations of non-perishable food items, toiletries, and household essentials.

"The outpouring of support from the community was truly heartwarming, with hundreds of items collected to benefit local food banks and pantries," police said. "Senator Collett's initiative not only helped stock the shelves of our local food banks but also fostered a sense of community and social responsibility."

Both police departments held the food drive at the Giant Food Store in Willow Grove.
