Roswell Police Donate Funds To Drake House

The Roswell Police Department has donated money to a local shelter tasked with helping women and children in times of crises.

The law enforcement agency donated $200 to The Drake House by presenting eight $25 gift cards to share with families they assist. Roswell police won the money from Lucky’s Burgers and Brew in its Grim Reaper Burger Challenge. Roswell police faced off with Roswell firefighters in the event, which was held Dec. 6.

The event also benefited Toys For Tots.

The Drake House provides short-term crisis housing, education and empowerment programs for homeless single mothers and their children in north Fulton.
