The City of Galveston will once again be participating in the Share Your Holidays event.
This annual event takes place to help deliver cans of food to those in need. This year, police will assist in delivering thousands of cans of food to local food banks, where they can then be distributed to those in need.
The city is encouraging residents to donate to the cause by donating food or providing help with transportation with the event. They are stressing that this is a difficult time for many families, especially in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
In total, GPD officers donated more than 10,500 non-perishable food items this year, motivated by a little friendly competition between the different shifts within the police department. The police force is also encouraging the community to get involved and help whenever possible.
