HAZELWOOD POLICE GROUP HELPS FAMILIES IN NEED
During the holidays, the Hazelwood Police Benevolent Association chooses needy families in the area to assist with bills, and donate food or gifts that they cannot afford through their Help Families in Need Program. The families adopted by the program generally all reside in Hazelwood and their children attend our local schools.
Over the years, this program has relied upon the generous support of local business partners such as bioMérieux, Bommarito Ford, Nature’s Bakery, Cabela’s, and Burner Design & Control. Also, a lot of support also comes from the generous contributions made by city employees and Hazelwood residents.
You can donate to the Hazelwood Police Benevolent Association and/or the Families in Need program by contacting Officer Tim Benning at 314-838-5000 ext. 5243.
WRAPPED WITH WARMTH – The city’s Domestic Violence Victims coordinator is running a bed sheets drive for sexual assault victims. Often times, while gathering evidence at a sexual assault scene, the victim’s bedsheets are collected. Between Jan. 20 – 31, the city will be collecting new bedsheets to help replace the sheets collected as evidence. You can donate new sheets in the original packaging at city hall or the police station.
