Plainfield, IL – The Plainfield Police Department is inviting residents to help “Stuff a Squad” this week as part of its annual fall food drive. Donations will be accepted through Saturday, November 8 at 2:00 p.m. at the department headquarters, located at 14300 S. Coil Plus Drive in Plainfield.
According to organizers, all canned and non-perishable items collected will be donated to the Plainfield Area Interfaith Food Pantry, supporting local families in need ahead of the Thanksgiving season.
Suggested donation items include paper goods, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, canned cranberries, corn bread, canned gravy, canned corn, yams, apple sauce, soups, instant mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie filling.
Residents can drop off contributions in front of the police department anytime during the collection period. Officers will be on-site to help load items into police vehicles as part of the “Stuff a Squad” initiative, which aims to fill an entire patrol car with food donations.
Community members are encouraged to participate and share the effort with friends and neighbors to help ensure local families have full tables this holiday season.
