First responders

Wayne residents who filled a police patrol car recently were not under arrest but participating in the Wayne Police Department First Responder Food Drive.  Residents demonstrated their community spirit by 'stuffing' a police patrol car with non-perishable food to be donated to those in need in the community. Wayne officers Raquel Ogarek and Joshua Priebe were on hand to help donors load the food into the police car parked at the Kroger store at West Michigan Avenue. The effort took place for two Saturdays, July 30 and Aug. 6 and the donations not only stuffed the patrol car, but exceeded the goal the department set for the effort. Kroger employees will deliver the collected food to local families, officials said.
