Poynette- The Giving Community
I would like to personally thank all of the citizens that came out and donated to the stuff the squad community event. This year was by far the best year we have had in our five years of doing this program. Not only did we almost fill 3 full squads, but we also received nearly $700 in donations, which we purchased those items needed for the food pantry at the Piggly Wiggly. In addition, we also received nearly $400 for our upcoming shop with a cop program as well. I would also like to thank Poynette Piggly Wiggly for allowing us to utilize their parking lot and how gracious they have been with donations as well. This program would not be successful or exist without all of our community members who donate to this wonderful cause. It’s a great feeling to know that our food pantry will be well stocked to help supply those less fortunate families during the holidays, this is exactly why we do this event. As you will see from the pictures, this year was a fantastic success. This event would not even be possible if it wasn’t for my Executive Administrative Assistant Sarah Roche, she started this program five years ago and it has grown every year since. Thanks again to all who participated. Chief Eric Fisher
