BLOOMINGTON ( 25News Now ) - The Bloomington Police Department and Kroger will host their second “Pack the Cruiser” food drive on Saturday, Nov. 15.

The event is being held in response to increased demands and decreased funding for local pantries.

The first “Pack the Cruise” event was held in May and was considered a great success for the community. They were able to collect over 1,500 pounds of food for local families.

This time, though, they are increasing the capacity for the event. In hopes of surpassing the previous total collection, they will be hosting collections at two separate Kroger locations.

The stores will be accepting donations between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The two Kroger locations participating are located at 1502 North Main Street, and 2507 East Oakland Avenue.
