Horsham PD To 'Stuff The Police Car' For Hunger

HORSHAM, PA — Police in Horsham are teaming up with Acme Markets to help fight childhood hunger.

The department will be hosting its "Stuff the Police Car" event on Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Acme at 200 Blair Mill Rd. At the event, which starts at 10 a.m., community members will be able to donate food items to Hatboro-Horsham based H.A.T Packs.

Helping Around Town (H.A.T.) partners with public schools, community groups, houses of worship, businesses and others to help fill weekend "hunger gaps" for children. The H.A.T. Packs program provides packs filled with non-perishable breakfast, lunch, snack and beverage items to school children and their siblings who face food insecurity.

The Sept. 21 event will include remarks from state Rep. Todd Stevens and Horsham Council President Mark McCouch, as well as a two-minute shopping spree for single-serve breakfast foods. There will be music, raffles and more.

Throughout September, Acme Markets and the Acme Foundation are asking shoppers to help feed kids by raising funds for breakfast programs. The funds raised at Horsham locations benefits H.A.T. Packs.
