Sheriff’s Office will host holiday food drive Saturday

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office is organizing a food drive on Saturday to help local food banks and their customers through the holiday season.

Community members can drop off nonperishable food items from noon to 5 p.m. at the sheriff’s office headquarters at 5600 Flatiron Parkway. There will be an area for drive-up drop-offs.

The most needed items include baby formula, canned food, instant meals, baking mixes, shelf-stable milk, condiments and macaroni and cheese, according to a news release.

The sheriff’s office will distribute the food to Boulder’s Harvest of Hope Pantry, Longmont’s St. John the Baptist Food Bank and Lafayette’s Sister Carmen Community Center. Boulder County food banks have seen significant demand in recent months.

“Our deputies see firsthand how many families in our community are struggling to make ends meet,” said Sheriff Curtis Johnson. “This food drive is one way we can come together to make a difference and ensure that no one goes hungry this season.”
