🚔Today, Dooly County Schools and Communities in Schools had the privilege of feeding the dedicated officers of the Dooly County Sheriff’s Department in honor of National Police Week!
We are so grateful for the men and women who put on the badge every day to protect and serve our community — including the families and students of Dooly County. This was a small way to say a big THANK YOU for all that you do!
We see you. We appreciate you. We’re proud to stand with you. 💙🖤
