We had an awesome day packing up boxes of food for our community at the Dillons Distribution Center in Goddard for our First Responders Holiday Helpers program. We are sincerely thankful for everyone who helped spread the word and contribute to this tremendous initiative. Thanks to your support, several families in our community who are needing a little help this holiday season will have boxes delivered right to their door by our local first responders. A great way to start the holiday season!Photos from Harvey County Sheriff's Office's post
