Fitchburg, WI – The Fitchburg Police Department’s Professional Staff will host their annual Stuff a Squad food drive this Saturday, November 8, to collect non-perishable food donations supporting the Allied Food Pantry.
According to the department, officers and volunteers will be stationed at Pick ’n Save and Hy-Vee in Fitchburg from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., welcoming residents to stop by, say hello, and help “stuff a squad” full of donations for local families.
The annual event aims to ease food insecurity during the holiday season by encouraging residents to donate canned goods, boxed meals, and other non-perishable items. Each contribution collected will go directly toward helping Dane County families in need through the Allied Food Pantry’s community programs.
Organizers say every can or box of food can make a difference, and participation from residents has grown each year. Those unable to attend in person are encouraged to donate directly to the pantry or share the event to help spread awareness.
The Stuff a Squad initiative is part of the Fitchburg Police Department’s broader community outreach efforts to build positive connections between officers and residents while supporting local charities.
