GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ – Gloucester Township Police are accepting donations for their Thanksgiving Food Drive through November 17. Residents are encouraged to donate canned food and non-perishable items.
Donations can be dropped off at the GTPD Headquarters Watch Desk located at 1261 Chews Landing Road. The police department stated, “Help GTPD help others in need, and donate your canned food and non-perishable items today!”
The food drive aims to assist families struggling to provide meals during the holiday season. The police department noted that some families face difficult circumstances, despite working nights and weekends to make ends meet.
The drive highlights the ongoing issue of hunger, which can affect members of any community. Many people facing hunger are not easily identifiable, often challenging the stereotype that associates hunger solely with homelessness.
Gloucester Township Police encourage community members to participate in the drive. The department aims to gather as many donations as possible to support local families in need.
Together, the community can make a difference this Thanksgiving. The police hope that the drive will further demonstrate their commitment to serving the community.
Residents are urged to contribute to this essential cause and ensure that families can enjoy a festive meal.
