“The Laramie Police Department is proud to participate in a Faith & Blue Food Drive to help Laramie Interfaith and Laramie Soup Kitchen fulfill their missions of helping our community”. The department’s Facebook page said today.

The purpose of National Faith & Blue Weekend is to create safer and stronger communities by connecting law enforcement officers and the residents they protect and serve. National Faith & Blue Weekend consists of events that will occur in communities across the country and are designed to all happen on the same weekend, October 7-10. These activities are designed to facilitate law enforcement officers and the public getting to know one another and to build mutual understanding.

For this year’s event, the Laramie Police Department, Albany County Sheriff’s, University of Wyoming Police Department, Wyoming Highway Patrol, Laramie Police Department Foundation, Laramie Interfaith, and Laramie Soup Kitchen have come together to host a food drive. All the proceeds will be donated to Laramie Interfaith and Laramie Soup Kitchen. This event will take place on Monday, October 10 from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm and will be held at First Christian Church located at 2130 Garfield St. Please stop by to donate some food and get to know some of your local law enforcement officers, as well as the fine people from Laramie Interfaith and Laramie Soup Kitchen.
