POCATELLO – Pocatello Police Officers are asking you to give them a bird for a good cause.
Earlier this month, the Pocatello Police Department kicked off its 2nd Annual “Give the Cops a Bird” Turkey Drive for the Idaho Foodbank. You are invited to drop off turkeys or money to help purchase turkeys for southeast Idahoans in need during the holidays.
Donations will be accepted through Nov. 20 at the Pocatello Police Department.
“We want to do what we can to ensure that no family in our community goes without food this holiday season,” said Community Resource Officer Greg Cates. “Thank you to Lowe’s for donating a freezer to allow us to store the turkeys before we take them over to the Idaho Foodbank.”
The department received more than 200 turkeys and roughly $3,500 in donations last year.
The Pocatello Police Department is at 911 North 7th Avenue. Visit the website for more information.
