Tis the season to start giving. The Florida Highway Patrol is kicking off its "Stuff the Charger" food drive.
From now until the end of the month, Floridians are encouraged to donate non-perishable food items to helping stock local food banks and brighten the holiday season for families facing hardship.
“Floridians have always shown resilience and generosity, especially in times of need,” said FLHSMV Executive Director Dave Kerner. “By loading our Chargers with food donations, we are delivering hope into Florida homes and helping families embrace the holiday season with dignity and joy.”
“Join us in making a meaningful impact this holiday season by supporting our annual Stuff the Charger food drive,” said FHP Colonel Gary Howze. “Your donations are essential in helping provide food to families in need, and together we can ensure that no Floridian goes without during this special time of year."
Suggested donation items include canned meats, veggies and fruits. Dry goods like stuffing, rice and cereal. Peanut butter, evaporated milk and bottled water.
You can donate at any local FHP Station.
