Henrico officers delivered boxes of Thanksgiving food to more than 500 families.

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. – Henrico County Police are making sure families in need have food to share with their loved ones this Thanksgiving.

The Henrico County Police Athletic League’s 18th annual Thanksgiving Day food drive delivered boxes of food to more than 500 pre-selected families on Saturday.

Kenneth L. Ragland, a retired Henrico police sergeant and league executive director, said the giveaway is about giving back.

“They get a turkey and a box for Thanksgiving,” Ragland said. “And this is all possible thanks to our sponsors, the Walmart Foundation and the Western Assembly of God.”

The league, which has given away more than 4,200 turkeys since 2007, also offers year-round sports programs, after-school programs and summer camps.

“This is all possible because of donations, community involvement and people with a humanitarian spirit,” Ragland said. “And if you want to help us next year or this Christmas, the only thing you have to do is just contact us on our website.”
