Clarksdale Junior Auxiliary surprises deputies with cookies

Local deputies received a sweet delivery from community volunteers, a Facebook post said. Brooks Perry and Meredith Wilkinson of the Clarksdale Junior Auxiliary brought cookies to deputies and the post thanked them for their “delicious cookies and thoughtful support.”

The Clarksdale Junior Auxiliary is a volunteer organization that supports community activities and children’s programs in Clarksdale, Mississippi. Local junior auxiliary chapters typically raise funds and provide volunteer services for schools, civic events and families in need.

Small gestures such as donated food and public expressions of appreciation can boost morale among law enforcement officers and reinforce ties between police and the communities they serve. Agencies often post acknowledgments on social media to recognize volunteers and encourage community engagement.

Details about the visit and the department that posted the message were limited. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
