Cram the Cruiser in Campbellsville on Dec 6 Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky State Police (KSP) are encouraging Kentuckians to participate in the annual statewide "Cram the Cruiser" food drive to combat hunger throughout the commonwealth through December 9, 2024. "My faith teaches me that food is lifegiving and meant to be shared. From the miracle of fishes and loaves to the Last Supper, we are called to feed and care for each other," Gov. Beshear said. "Let's do what Kentuckians do best, help out our fellow Kentuckians facing hunger this Christmas season." "Cram the Cruiser" - hosted by all 16 KSP posts - aims to collect essential food items to brighten the holiday season for those in need. Troopers will be stationed at various grocery and retail stores across the state, ready to accept donations of non-perishable food items. Troopers from Post 15 will be at the Kroger at 399 Campbellsville Byp., Campbellsville, KY, from 9amCT/10amET until 1pmCT/2pmET on Friday, December 6, 2024. Food items may also be dropped off at local post locations. KSP Post 15 is located at 1118 Jamestown St., Columbia, KY. Needed items include 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. In 2023, KSP collected 162,047 pounds of food, with Post 16 collecting the most donations, at 59,126 pounds. A statewide event is planned for Friday, Dec. 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., in each post area as the final push for the campaign. All food items collected will be distributed within the communities where the contributions are made. "Even though the holidays are known for being 'merry and bright,' that isn't the reality some Kentuckians face," said KSP Commissioner Phillip Burnett Jr. "The 'Cram the Cruiser' food drive is an opportunity for our agency to give back and serve those in need." To find specific locations and further details about the 'Cram the Cruiser' holiday food drive, visit the KSP website. This story was posted on 2024-11-25 08:36:08
