ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ)- Police cars in Brown County were filled with groceries Friday.
Pick N’ Save teamed up with police to “Fill the Cruiser” with food that customers purchased for donating to the New Community Shelter.
Customers buy the bags in amounts of $10 dollars or $5 dollars.
Ashwaubenon Public Safety, Green Bay Police and Brown County Sheriff’s Office competed to see who could collect more, but Captain Jody Crocker of the Ashwaubenon Public Safety says even the department that collects the most is not the real winners.
“In the end the community and the people in need are the real winners.”
Pick N’ Save in Ashwaubenon went through over 600 bags in the first three hours.
Jon Soffa, Pick N’ Save Store Manager in Ashwaubenon said people stepped up big.
“It’s awesome, everyone needs food and we are able to help those who need the most this holiday season.”
