Bridgeville Police Hope to Top Last Year’s Record-Setting Food Drive

March 8, 2019 By Tim McNellie

This time last year, workers at the Bethany Presbyterian Church were faced with one of the best problems they’ve ever had.

A food drive organized by local police officers brought in so many donations that there was no place to put it all.

“They actually ran out of room,” said Bridgeville councilman Joe Verduci.

Food bank volunteers had to scramble to find places in the church to store mass quantities of non-perishable foods (including pet food).

The three-week collection effort was conducted by officers in Bridgeville, Collier, Scott, Heidelberg, and South Fayette. The result was the single largest donation in local food bank history, said Bridgeville police chief Chad King.

This year, the goal is to set a new record.

“Let’s make this year even bigger and better to help more local families!” King wrote on Facebook.

Between now and April 1, You can help by dropping off non-perishable and non-expired foods (including pet food) at any of the following locations:
