This holiday season, 52 Division is proud to share the success of our annual holiday food drive! Thanks to the generosity of our community, we collected 1,725 lbs of food, which will be donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank. Food insecurity remains a pressing challenge in our community, and every donation helps ensure that families have access to the nourishment they need during the holidays. We are grateful for the support and collaboration that make initiatives like this possible. Together, we are spreading hope, warmth, and holiday cheer.

Community members are encouraged to remain vigilant in busy areas, ensure their vehicles are locked, keep valuables out of sight and secured, and report any suspicious activity. By working together, we can help keep our community safe throughout the holiday season.
