Sheriff Brent Miller and the Washington County Deputies have organized a nonperishable food drive on December 8. This annual event is called, “Cram the Cruiser to Prevent Hunger this Christmas.” It will be held at two locations in Salem. The first of which being at the Jay C Food Store at 601 S Main St, and the second at the Salem Walmart at 1309 E Hackberry St.
The food drive will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and all food collected will remain in Salem at the Washington County Food Bank.
This is the 4th year doing this annual collection, and it usually is very successful. In previous years, the Sheriff’s Department has collected between 3,500 to 5,500 items. One year, they even managed to fill six police cars.
For questions, please call the Washington County Sheriff's Department at (812) 883-5999. Help support our local food bank this year during the Holiday Season!
