Bartholomew County Sheriff’s “Pack-a-Patrol Car” is returning.

The effort by Bartholomew County Sheriff Matthew A. Myers and sheriff’s department employees will be to “Pack-a-

Patrol Car” for Bartholomew County residents who may need a little extra help during this holiday season.

Now through Nov. 22, donation boxes are available in the lobby areas of the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office and the Bartholomew County Courthouse.

Canned foods and non-perishable items are being accepted.

In the past, the sheriff’s department has donated almost 10,000 non-perishable food items to Love Chapel and the

Salvation Army.

Those who wish to donate may drop off your donations in the front lobby of the Bartholomew County Jail at any time, day or night.

Supervising this year’s “Pack-a-Patrol Car” event is Lt. Kaleigh Morey, Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Division.
