"It's really important for me. I love the community events and the more that we can do for the community and get those relationships, I think it's amazing for LMPD to do," said Brittany Rausch, with LMPD's fourth division. 

Kroger partnered with LMPD to help make the event possible. 

"Kroger is really big about their community and we like to get involved and show them we're not just a grocery store, we also want to feed the human spirit," said Stephanie Ratliff, community event coordinator for Kroger.
