In the News: Media Covers Greg's Groceries Expansion

On May 20, 2021, we were proud to announce the statewide expansion of our Greg’s Groceries program and our partnership with SLED as well as unveil the program’s new logo. 

Thanks to our sponsors and police partners, the Spring Greg’s Groceries Packing Day was incredible. More than 25 police departments and 130 volunteers from across the state, including media covering the event, helped make the day a huge success.

We appreciate our local media sharing the news about this important work. They play a critical role in helping us bridge the gap between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

Below you will find links to all the media coverage. Thank you to all that came out. Be sure to stay tuned as our efforts are just getting started.
