The 17th annual food drive will take place at:

All donations will benefit St. Felix Pantry, which serves families in the Rio Rancho community.
Police officers will deliver the collected food to St. Felix Pantry at 4020 Barbara Loop SE via police vehicles at 12:15 p.m.
Tim Sheahan, CEO of St. Felix Pantry, said last year’s drive collected more than three tons of food along with a sizeable cash donation.
“The Rio Rancho Police Department continues to support this community in many ways, and we are very thankful for that,” Sheahan said.
