Recently a Palmetto Police Officer met with a resident, and while speaking with her she said she needed a little help. C.A.R.E. Officer Glantz ( Community Activity Resource and Education Officer) called her to find out how we could help. The citizen advised that she could use some food for her family. A local church was contacted, and advised they would love to help by donating some food. The local church and the C. A.R.E. Unit coordinated the delivery of food to the family. We are super proud of our officers, churches, and citizens, who are always willing to go above and beyond for one of our citizens in need.
