The Maple Shade Police Chaplain Association (MSPCA) and all of our partners would like to thank the community of Maple Shade for their unbelievable support of our 2021 Fill the Truck Food Drive! We took in thousands of items from the general public all to benefit the Maple Shade Food Bank, where Shaders help Shaders. In addition, the Youth Competition took in almost 5,000 donated items themselves with the $1,000 first place prize going to the OLPH-CCD program, the $650 second place prize going to Maple Shade Street Hockey and the $350 third place prize going to All About the Kidz. Since there was no 4th place finisher, the $200 4th place prize was given to the Maple Shade Food Bank to purchase gift cards to help those battling food insecurity. We are blessed and thankful for your tremendous support!

Fill the Truck Food Event 2021
The MSPCA, the Maple Shade Police Chaplain Corp, MSPD and PBA Local #267 teamed up with their community partners to once again host the Fill the Truck Food Event. The event kicked off in August of 2021 and runs until September 15, 2021. The culmination of the event takes place at Gazebo Park during the Downtown Maple Shade festival, where free water ice will be handed out to anyone dropping off a donation in person between 4:30pm and 7:30pm on 9/15. There is also a food drive competition amongst our youth groups in town and cash prizes will be handed out for 1st to 4th place finishers. Everyone participating must check in at the Gazebo park on 9/15 with their donation totals and then transport those donations to the Maple Shade Food Bank who will be the recipient of all donations raised during the entire event. It is a great chance for Shaders to help Shaders!
MSPCA and MSPD Participate at Downtown Maple Shade Kid’s Event
Chaplain Greg Ginion, Chief Chris Fletcher and Officer Matt Shaw teamed up together to attend the Kid’s Event as part of the Downtown Maple Shade series in August of 2021. Chaplain Ginion and Officer Shaw handed out free give away items to the children attending the event. Give away items included wiffle ball sets, foam footballs and draw string bags all courtesy of MSPD. In addition, Chief Fletcher was busy grilling up hot dogs for the community members attending the event and it proved to be a great chance for Shaders to come together and celebrate Maple Shade.
