Though many of the families on Birchwood Isle are quite well-to-do, there are still some very poor families who struggle to make ends meet. For this reason, the police department has come together in a food drive to support the community.
The officers of Birchwood Isle will be working closely with both public schools (the elementary school and the public high school) to raise awareness of the poverty-stricken areas of Birchwood Isle while also gathering donations of non-perishable foods. Community members are encouraged to also donate whole frozen turkeys, which will be stored for distribution on the day before Thanksgiving.
Everyone is invited to participate. This is an opportunity to help the community and to come meet the police officers who keep Birchwood Isle a safe place to live, work, and play. Show your community spirit by signing up to help with collection and distribution, or just to spread the word about the food drive!
Threads will take place in a special board in the Police Station, with opportunities to meet the officers and other people in various age groups. Teachers are encouraged to spread the word through their students via threads in their classrooms or simple announcements.
If you would like to participate in this monthly event at Birchwood Isle you may join us now!
The sign-up form for existing members is located here.
