Foxborough Police Extend 'No Shave November' To Help Food Pantry

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The police department decided to extend "No Shave November" for officers who give back to the community. Normally, Foxborough officers aren't allowed to grow beards, but with a $100 donation to the town's discretionary fund/food pantry, they can wear one until the end of December.

"We started going back with some of the guys and wanted to do something to try to help Foxborough," Detective Patrick Morrison told Patch. "During the holidays, we couldn't think of anything better than to help the people in our own community."

The department donated $1,850 to the town's discretionary fund.

"If you do the math, some gave more than $100," police said. "This donation will assist the residents of Foxborough in making ends meet during the time of year for giving."
