Two hundred dinner boxes will be filled and distributed to families in the 21 police districts across the city.
"It makes me feel phenomenal. I know what it's like to not participate in Thanksgiving as a member of the military, so now that I'm here, I'm able to bring that joy," said Sgt. Sean Peck.
Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw also took part in the preparations and says these efforts are the results of work within each neighborhood. "Our officers see a lot throughout the year. They see people at their worst and we don't often get called when things are going great," Outlaw said. "But how amazing is it to give back to the same person or that same family knowing what they've experienced throughout the year."
Employees across the police department donated $8,000 for all of the food in the boxes, officials said.
