The Catawba County Fraternal Order of Police plans to feed over 100 families.

It is the 39th year the Fraternal Order has given out food to those who need it.
“I like to tell people that law enforcement are here to help,” said Carl Pope of the Fraternal Order. “We don’t just put a uniform on every day...looking to write tickets and lock people up.”
Some meals will be taken to schools, where resource officers will deliver them to families, while other meals will be taken straight to families.
