BBPD collecting nonperishables

Bradenton Beach Police Lt. Lenard Diaz stands Nov. 16 with donations for a food drive administered by the BBPD. The cans of food were collected ahead of Nov. 19 for the Bridge Street tree lighting. Donations will benefit local food banks. “Were just asking everybody if they could bring anywhere between five cans of nonperishables so that we could give back to the community. We know there are a lot of people hurting.” Islander Photos: Robert Anderson
