Donations needed for LPD Appreciation Meals

A group of community residents, led by Dayle Benjamin, has continued to provide Appreciation Meals for our Lansing Police Department officers who work on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Most restaurants are closed and there aren't many options.

Though the officers themselves would never complain and would make do, this is certainly a nice way to express our appreciation to them for their long hours doing an often dangerous and difficult job. 

Here are 2 ways we can help:

Donations:

You can send a check in any amount to Dayle Benjamin at 1323 N. Chestnut, Lansing 48906 to help cover costs of food.

Food:
  • Confirm. Please contact Dayle at 517 881-7966 or DayleBenjamin@aol.com to let him know if you are donating something so he can revise the donation list.
  • Drop off. People can drop off food items (confirmed above) on Tuesday 12/23/2014 between 4:30 and 6:30 pm at the Plumbers Union Hall 5405 S. Martin Luther King.
  • Alternate Drop off. People can also contact Dayle Benjamin to arrange an earlier drop off with him in North Lansing or Kathy Tobe in South Lansing.
