Upcoming 'Stuff-The-Cruiser' Benefits Contra Costa Food Bank

SAN RAMON, CA — The San Ramon Police Department is partnering next week with the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano with a "Stuff-the-Cruiser" event to help stock the organization's food shelves.

The socially distant food drive will be Wednesday, Aug. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front of Safeway at 2505 San Ramon Valley Blvd., the department said.

"Together we can make a difference, and we need your help," according to the police agency. "Since the pandemic, the need for food bank services has gone up by 40 to 50 percent. They are now serving 250,000 people per month."

Those who prefer to donate online, can do so by following this link to the "virtual food drive." To date, $978 was raised toward the $1,500 goal.

"Thank you for helping support our community," the department added.
