The Verona Police Department will host a “Stuff the Squad” food drive event at Miller and Sons Supermarket on Dec. 16 from 8 a.m.–2 p.m., according to the Verona Press. The annual event benefits area nonprofit Badger Prairie Needs Network (BPNN).
Community members are encouraged to shop for nonperishable food items and hygiene products to donate to BPNN. Most-needed donation items include canned meat, beans, and fruit; white rice; cereal; pasta sauce; cooking oil; baby wipes; bar soap; and menstrual pads.
In 2022, the BPNN provided food assistance to 37,000 individuals through its grocery-style food pantry.
