The highlight of our annual “Spread the Love” food drive comes Sunday, Feb. 25 as Commerce City police officers encourage residents to fill police vehicles with donations of peanut butter and jelly for local food banks. Officers will be posted in front of both King Soopers stores in Commerce City for the event to chat with shoppers and give kids a look at their patrol vehicles while they collect donations.

WHAT: Cram the Cruiser food drive event
WHEN: Sunday, Feb. 25, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
WHERE: Commerce City King Soopers locations (4850 E. 62nd Ave. and 15051 E. 104th Ave.)

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are high in protein and easy for kids to make without adult supervision, making Spread the Love an ideal way to donate and help local food banks. With more of our neighbors dealing with food insecurity, greater demand at local food banks makes this event a great opportunity to lend a helping hand. The city distributes all non-perishable food donations to the Adams County Food Bank and the FISH of Commerce City Food Bank at Our Savior Lutheran Church.

In addition to Sunday’s Cram the Cruiser event, donation bins are also in place at the following city facilities throughout the month of February:

Bison Ridge Recreation Center, 13905 E. 112th Ave.
Eagle Pointe Recreation Center, 6060 E. Parkway Dr.
Commerce City Civic Center, 7887 E. 60th Ave.
Municipal Service Center, 8602 Rosemary St.
