Carla Clark | For The Republic The sheriff, sheriff’s deputies, staff and family members deliver the food that the Bartholomew County Sheriff Department collected during their annual Pack a Patrol Car food drive to Love Chapel, Columbus, Ind., Thursday, November 21, 2024.
The Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office delivered 4,000 pounds of food to be divided between Love Chapel and the Salvation Army, the proceeds from the deputies’ annual Pack-a-Patrol Car effort.
The Pack-a-Patrol-Car event was also the senior project of Genea Martoccia, and is coordinated annually by sheriff’s office employees.
The food was collected from donations from the west-side Walmart and JayC on the west-side over several weekends.
The non-perishable food is traditionally donated as the holiday season as the need increases at the food banks during that time.
