Milton PD Annual Food Drive with Bucky Badger

Below is a press release from Milton Police Lieutenant John Conger about their annual food drive.  

On Sunday, December 11th, our agency will be hosting our annual food drive to benefit the Milton Food Pantry. The event will be held from 2:00-3:00pm at Cowley’s Piggly Wiggly, located at 727 S. Janesville St. We ask that those willing to participate bring in non-perishable food items to benefit the cause. As an added bonus, Bucky Badger will be on hand for the event. We would hope that all Badger fans in the community will come and visit with Bucky, and perhaps have your photo taken with him. Please note, it is not required that you bring food items in exchange for the opportunity to meet Bucky.

The Bucky Badger appearance is being co-sponsored by Penn Color and Cowley’s Piggly Wiggly. We thank them for their support of our efforts.
