This year’s event provided a fully cooked Thanksgiving meal to families within the Battle Ground community who may not have otherwise been able to enjoy one
The Battle Ground Police Department proudly hosted its second annual Serving Beyond the Badge: Thanksgiving Edition, an event created to help local families enjoy a warm, traditional Thanksgiving meal.
This year’s event provided a fully cooked Thanksgiving meal to families within the Battle Ground community who may not have otherwise been able to enjoy one. Between responding to calls for service, Battle Ground officers delivered these meals to over 16 local families, bringing comfort and connection directly to their doorsteps. Over 75 individual meals were carefully prepared and packaged by the dedicated Battle Ground police officers and professional staff along with a team of committed volunteers, including Battle Ground Mayor Troy McCoy and City Manager Kris Swanson.
This tremendous effort was made possible by the generosity of local businesses and individuals who truly embody what it means to support their community.
“We extend our sincere appreciation to Playmakers Sports Bar and Grill, Summerland Catering Services, Maddox Industrial Transformers, Al & Ernie’s Bakery Café, Utopia Salon, Castle Farms, Walmart, and Lori Lindberg, whose contributions helped turn this vision into reality,” stated Chief Dennis Flynn. “We are proud to stand alongside local businesses, volunteers, and city leaders as we work together to uplift and support Battle Ground families during the holiday season.”
Serving Beyond the Badge is more than just a yearly tradition, it reflects the Battle Ground Police Department’s ongoing commitment to living out the department’s motto: Partners with The Community.
