Fitchburg, WI – The Fitchburg Police Department is calling on the community to help fill squad cars with food donations during its annual “Stuff a Squad” event this Saturday, November 8, from 9 to 11 a.m.
According to police, donations will be accepted at Pick ’n Save and Hy-Vee locations in Fitchburg. The collected items will go directly to the Allied Food Pantry, which provides essential groceries to families in need across the area.
Organizers say the event is a convenient way for residents to combine early Thanksgiving shopping with giving back. “This is a great time to get some early grocery shopping accomplished and donate to a great cause,” the department shared in its announcement.
The Allied Food Pantry serves households throughout the Fitchburg area and continues to see increased demand ahead of the holiday season. Police and volunteers will be on-site to collect nonperishable items and thank donors for their contributions.
Community members are encouraged to stop by either location Saturday morning to help support local families and demonstrate Fitchburg’s community spirit.
