"The holiday season is a when we recommit to helping our neighbors and giving back to our community," said Gov. Beshear. "I encourage those Kentuckians who can, to spread holiday cheer to those in need by participating in our 'Cram the Cruiser' food drive." Troopers will be stationed at various grocery and retail stores across the state, ready to accept donations of non-perishable food items. These items included 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. Food items may also be dropped off at local post locations. A simultaneous statewide signature event is planned on Friday, December 1, from 10am to 4pm in each post area as the final push for the campaign. All food items collected stay in the communities where the contributions were made. "This event has a special place in our hearts. We are committed to serving the people of Kentucky in every way we can," said KSP Commissioner Phillip Burnett, Jr. "With the holidays approaching, it becomes even more crucial to ensure that everyone has access to nutritious meals."
