BETHEL PARK POLICE PALS ADOPT-A-FAMILY

            The Bethel Park Police Pals want to take this opportunity to thank all of the contributors that helped make the "Adopt a Family" program a huge success.  Through the generosity and hard work of so many, the program helped 18 Bethel Park families during the holidays.  The program assisted families with obtaining food and presents for the Christmas holiday.  The presents collected included clothing, toys, gift cards and even fulfilling a request to have a Priest visit a resident.  We sometimes overlook people in our own community that might be going through some difficult times, but these contributors really made sure that each family was taken care of.

POLICE PALS ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE

            The 19th Annual Police Pals Food Drive was a huge success.  There were 214 boxes of food provided to area churches to distribute to families in need as well as two large bulk donations of food to SHIM and St. Vals Food Pantry.  The Food Drive was bolstered by the hard work of volunteers on Saturday, December 10, 2011, when food donations were collected outside of Giant Eagle, Shop N Save and Walmart.  That day, 54 boxes of food were collected as well as over $1700 in cash which was used to purchase more food.  The Bethel Park Police Pals wants to thank all the volunteers that day:

             The Police Pals also want to thank management at the three locations for allowing the collections to take place.  It was very helpful. We also would like to thank the Giant Eagle Village Square for collecting approximately 60 boxes of food for the food drive.  We would like to extend a special thanks to Mr. Rod Ambrogi of Al's Café for donating 100 turkeys, as well as Two Men and a Truck for donating all the boxes for the Food Drive.

            The Police Pals want to acknowledge the following contributors for making this year's Food Drive a true community success.  The Police Pals look forward to the 20th Annual Food Drive with hope and enthusiasm of another successful year.
