POCATELLO — This year is Pocatello Police Department’s fourth annual Give the Cops a Bird program.

We are seeking donations of frozen turkeys and financial donations that will be sent to the Idaho Food Bank to help those in need during this holiday season. It is understood that turkeys may be hard to find this year, so any frozen holiday meat will be gladly accepted — frozen ham, roast, etc.

Financial donations will also be accepted. Checks may be written out to “Pocatello FOP Union.” Those funds will be directed to the Idaho Food Bank as well.

Donations can be dropped off at the Pocatello Police Department front lobby, 911 N. 7th Ave.

Also, a Venmo account has been set up at @Portneuf-Valley-Lodge. We look forward to partnering with you to help those in need this holiday season.
