Nov. 29 marks five years since the four Lakewood Police officers were killed and once again this year, Washington’s Most Wanted is partnering with the department on a food drive in their memory. On Nov. 26, officers and volunteers will be accepting donations and raising money to make sure no one goes hungry this holiday season.
“We’re going to have a barbecue and we’re going to be out front and we’re going to collect food and donations for the local food banks here, the Emergency Food Network and we’re really looking forward to getting out and talking with the public again and picking up a lot of food and resources for the people in need here in Lakewood,” says Lakewood Chief Bret Farrar.
The Lakewood Police Department is at 9401 Lakewood Dr. SW. They will be taking donations on Nov. 26, the day before Thanksgiving, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
