The Indianola Hy-Vee and Indianola Police Department teamed up to provide meals for local families this Thanksgiving.

The meals were provided with assistance from Hy-Vee and the non-profit Indianola Police Department Community Outreach Partners. Indianola Police Captain Brian Sher tells KNIA News this event is just one of many that the police department is happy to help out with.

“We don’t want to just be seen as the people giving out a ticket or arresting someone in front of their kids, that’s not the image we want to portray. Obviously that is a small part of our job, but so are things like this. This is the part of our job that we get to give back. It’s a volunteer thing here, we just tell the officers when an event is and we almost always get 100% participation, it’s just a great thing.”
