We are from Stubbs so we want to donate these items to the Commissioner of Police and other members of the Police Force.” Dick further stated “we are going to continue to supply all of the creamers and the other things to go with the coffee maker because we know that the officers have to work for long hours. According to Dick, they intend to make similar donations to as many police stations as possible.
