KSP kicks off annual Cram The Cruiser food drive

By Trooper Robert Purdy

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky State Police kicked off their 10th annual "Cram The Cruiser" holiday food drive today. Designed to provide non-perishable food items for families in need throughout the Commonwealth, the campaign will continue through December 9, 2019. Citizens who want to contribute food items are encouraged to drop off non-perishable food items at their local post during the campaign. Donations can be dropped off at Post 15, 1118 Jamestown St, Columbia, KY.

KSP is teaming up with Kroger and Pepsi for special collection events on December 8, 2019, from 10am to 2pm local time. These signature events will take place at designated grocery stores across the state, including the Russell Springs Kroger, 181 S Hwy 127, Russell Springs, KY.

Suggested donations include non-expired 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.



"Hunger is an urban, suburban and rural problem," says KSP Spokesperson Sergeant Josh Lawson. "There is no area of the state where it does not exist. Through this program, we have an opportunity to make a significant impact on the lives of our neighbors and participate in the spirit of the season."

The food will be distributed to local shelters, churches or other organizations in the areas where they are collected says Lawson.

"The holidays are a time when people come together to support one another. Last year, nearly 243,000 pounds of food were donated from individuals, businesses, school groups, social clubs, scout troops and civic organizations throughout the state," he notes. "Feeding our neighbors is a noble cause, but it takes a team effort. Together we can take a stand against hunger and help make the holidays bright for families in need this year."
