KSP’s Cram the Cruiser underway

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) — Kentucky State Police’s annual Cram the Cruiser holiday food drive is officially underway.

Each year, the food drive is held around the holidays to provide non-perishable food items for families in need throughout the Commonwealth. It will run for about two weeks.
