Hello, Sand City! We now have a donation bin benefitting the located here in the SCPD lobby through the holiday season. Monterey County currently has a childhood poverty rate over 30%, but together, we can help bridge the gap and stock the fridges and pantries of our neighbors in need. All donations received by the Food Bank for Monterey County stays local.

Canned goods and pantry staples can be accepted by PD staff (door located on the right) or City Hall staff (door in the alcove by the mailbox), and the bin will be available in the Council Chambers during city council meetings. If you're able, please consider dropping off a little something to support those in need here in Monterey County.

With the scars of grief on our individual histories, we set forth each shift to carry out the mission of policing and justice on behalf of the community we serve. We haven't forgotten. 🇺🇸
