Yesterday, Union County Family Connection so graciously donated over a dozen resource bags with care packs to our department. These will be kept in our officers' vehicles and given out to individuals (adults and children) in our community during times of need. These care packs are filled with personal hygiene products, first aid kits, and even coloring books for children. With this generous donation, our officers are now well-equipped to help individuals in need while on duty. Many thanks to Union County Family Connection!
