North Shelby County, TN – Dozens of families in North Shelby County received food assistance this week as the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office teamed up with Northaven Elementary School and several community partners for a large-scale food drive.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the event was held at Northaven Elementary in North Shelby County and supported by The Mid-South Food Bank, YWCA Greater Memphis, A Rise 2 Read, MSCS Family & Community Engagement, and PTO Volunteers of Northaven Elementary.
The drive provided food to local families facing hardship and ensured that those in need had access to essential resources ahead of the holiday season. Deputies joined volunteers and school staff to help distribute the donations and assist families throughout the morning.
“Community works best when we work together,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote in a post thanking volunteers and partner organizations for their efforts.
The partnership reflects a growing effort by local schools and law enforcement to address food insecurity in Memphis-area neighborhoods.
