Stanley Police Department Accepting Donations of Nonperishable Food Items for Holiday Meals

Saturday, November 14th, 2026 -- 10:00 AM

During the months of November and December, the Stanley Police Department will be accepting donations of nonperishable food items at the police department and/or city hall.

All items received during this time will be donated to the local food pantry. Since 2018, they have been blessed to have helped collect more than 11,803 pounds of non-perishable items that have directly benefited people right in the community.

Additional monetary donations have been used to purchase bulk items such as hygiene products, toilet tissue/paper towel, cleaning supplies, and other dry goods which were directly donated to the Stanley-Boyd Area Food Pantry. Keeping the community’s pantry shelves full has been and will continue to be an important goal of the Stanley Police Department.

If you donate at least one item to the food drive, you will be given the opportunity to nominate a person/family that you believe is deserving of a free holiday meal. The meals will consist of a turkey or ham along with all of fixing’s (with a value of $60 for each meal).

Winners of the free holiday meals are selected through a random drawing. A member of the police department will reach out to those selected to confirm their interest in a meal. They will then work with their incredible partners at Hansen's IGA to collect and deliver the meals to those selected within the Stanley-Boyd area.

Since 2018, 261 holiday meals have been donated to local families through this program.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
