Event offers free food, raises donations for ‘Cooking for Cops’

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – They were serving up 1,000 pounds of boiled crawfish, chicken and pulled pork along with a whole spread Saturday at the Grounds.

The day of free food and fun was all aimed at helping to feed Mobile police officers.

The event was an effort to raise money through donations for the Mobile Police Department Foundation’s “Cooking for Cops,” where they go precinct to precinct and cook for fellow officers.

“Trying to be able to provide a hot meal with all of the running around going on and going call to call — they really don’t have time to stop for lunch and things of that sort. So, this gives us the opportunity to go in and cook them a hot meal,” said Cpl. James Hallmark with MPD Cooking for Cops.

“They come by and grab a meal. It doesn’t cost them anything. A little bit of

By Amanda M. Rye 7 days ago

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – A local food truck owner and chef is determined to keep his business going after multiple hurdles.

Tyrone Bennett and his wife started their food truck after he lost his job to COVID, which was the first obstacle he had to overcome.

A week after getting his business off the ground, a car accident put part of his business on hold.

“On March 30, we were heading to a catering and food truck event in Palm Coast and we were about five to six minutes away when we got hit from behind by a driver,” Bennett said. “The trailer jackknifed and jumped off the trailer. It slid about 100 feet down I-95. The driver that hit us flew and went into the bushes.”

Some of our homeless students who may not know where they’re going when they leave the school know they can come grab something at the end of the day.”

The pantry isn’t just for students facing food insecurity at home, but also for students who might have missed a meal due to their busy schedule.

“For whatever reason, maybe they got a late start in the morning and missed breakfast, students can use the pantry,” Hollenbeck said. “It affects education. If you don’t eat and
