Northfield Unites In Night To Unite Food And Cash Donations

Press release from the City of Northfield:

October 7, 2020

The Northfield Police Department would like to thank the Northfield community for showing up for their neighbors for the modified Night to Unite food drive event last night.

Like so many of you, the Northfield PD was disappointed that we were not able to gather as we usually do this year to get to know one another and talk about safety in our community during Night to Unite. However, we are so excited to see the citizens of Northfield unite behind the need in our community to meet food insecurity.

Last night, the Northfield PD in partnership with the Healthy Community Initiative and the Community Action Center turned the Night to Unite into a food drive for the food shelf, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

According to the CAC, 2,505 pounds of food donations and $2,625 in cash donations were collected. That is over a ton of food, literally. These donations will help meet the need for food in our community and the Northfield PD is so thankful to have great community partners like the CAC and HCI, and great community members like all of you that donated.

Thank you for supporting the NPD and thank you for supporting your neighbors.
