*LANSING, MICH. *This week, through a partnership with Kroger, Michigan State Police (MSP) troopers will deliver 200 Thanksgiving dinners to families in central and southeast Michigan. Each meal kit, which includes a turkey and traditional sides, will feed 4-6 people.

“This year, Kroger and the Michigan State Police are coming together once again to feed hundreds of Michigan families,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. “They’ve been collaborating on this effort for years and have delivered more than 1,800 meals and counting across central and southeast Michigan. Together, let’s keep living our Michigan values and supporting our neighbors in need. This Thanksgiving, I hope every Michigander gets to spend time with their loved ones, eat a great meal, and find their own way to give back.”

Participating MSP posts include Lansing, Jackson, Monroe, Brighton, Metro North, Metro South, Flint, Lapeer and Tri-City. Recipients were identified by MSP community service troopers through collaboration with local schools and community service organizations.

“In our shared commitment to combat food insecurity in the communities we live and serve, the Kroger Co. of Michigan stands united with the Michigan State Police, extending a helping hand to those facing the challenge of hunger,” said Cameron Barrett, Corporate Affairs Manager for the Kroger Co. of Michigan. “The holiday season magnifies the importance of this collaboration, recognizing that food lies at the heart of cherished family traditions. Over the last nine years, we've successfully provided and delivered more than 1,800 holiday meals to families experiencing hardships throughout the state of Michigan. Together, we make a meaningful impact, turning compassion into action and transforming holiday tables into symbols of hope and abundance."

“Community service is a huge part of who we are as a department, and our troopers look forward to making these deliveries each year,” said Col. James F. Grady II, director of the MSP. “We are grateful to Kroger for their continued partnership, making this initiative possible.”
