ATTACHMENTS: Resolution APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the receipt and expenditure of $3063.87 to
the police department to be used to for the Heroes and Helpers program
BACKGROUND
Community members shopping at Cub Foods recently made several free will donations for the police
department community program called, “Heroes and Helpers.”
Since 2015, the police department has partnered with local businesses and organizations to host a “Heroes
and Helpers” event for local children in need of support around the holiday season. This youth
enrichment program is not only an excellent way to provide support, but it is also an excellent forum for
education, conversation, and engagement between our Department and the youth of our community.
Officers traditionally volunteer time to bag groceries at Cub Foods for several hours in support of the
program. Other donations are dropped off at the police department by members of the community
wanting to assist.
In 2022, staff utilized donations to take 30 kids to the event!
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve the receipt and expenditure of the $3063.87 received for the Heroes
and Helpers program.
