As a part of the National Night Out efforts the Public Safety Department <br />asked residents to donate food and school supplies in an effort to ensure that all children in the <br />City have the tools necessary to be successful in school. As a result of the tremendous <br />outpouring of generosity throughout the City 5,036 pounds of food, 1,514 pounds of schools <br />supplies, and $1,009.00 were collected. The donations have assisted over 800 students so far this <br />year. To ensure proper transfer of the donations to the Mounds View School District we are <br />asking the City to formally accept the donations and formally transfer them to the Mounds View <br />School District. <br />Trevor Hamdorf <br />Crime Prevention Officer <br />
