Southaven police receive lunch donation from Heritage Church

Southaven Police Department said on Facebook that members of Heritage Church provided a lunch for department officers, expressing appreciation for the meal and the fellowship. The department thanked the church for its kindness and for thinking of officers during the meal.

In its post, the department wrote, “Special thank you to Heritage Church for providing a delicious lunch for our officers today. We enjoyed the food and fellowship and really appreciate your kindness. Thanks for thinking of us!”

The Southaven Police Department serves residents of Southaven, Mississippi, and routinely engages with local organizations and faith communities for outreach and support. Local donations of food and other services are a common way communities show appreciation for first responders and build relationships between citizens and law enforcement.

While the post offers a brief acknowledgment of the church’s gesture, it does not provide additional details about the event or the number of officers who participated. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
