Police officials expressed gratitude for the generosity displayed by participants, emphasizing the immediate impact these donations will have on families facing hunger.

“We want to sincerely thank the Belleville community for your generosity,” the department shared in a statement. “This event gets bigger and better each year, and we can’t wait to do it again next year.”
