York County police donating on-the-go food for S.C. officers working long hours on flood recovery

The cops in York County who know that officers in flood areas are working long hours without a chance to stop and eat are collecting snacks and other items for law enforcement.

Rock Hill Police Department officer Angie Wells is coordinating the effort at all departments in York County, with the items to be taken to Columbia and other areas as donations come in. The public also can drop off donations at any police agency.

“I would like to think some of these agencies would think of us if this had happened in our community,” Wells said.

Other participating departments include the York County Sheriff’s Office and police departments in York, Clover, Fort Mill, Tega Cay and Winthrop University.

Cops are collecting granola bars, other packaged snacks, drinks, crackers or as Wells put it: “Any other food that can be easily eaten in a police car or on the go.”
