In a charming display of community spirit, members of the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office recently took to Publix in Arcadia, helping customers bag their groceries. This initiative wasn’t just about pitching in; it aimed to spotlight the upcoming 2026 Law Enforcement Torch Run, a noteworthy event that raises funds for the Special Olympics of Florida. There’s nothing quite like a public servant donning an apron instead of a badge to bring smiles to shoppers’ faces!
Scheduled for March 24, the charity run sets off from the sheriff’s office and wraps up at Publix. For those looking to take part, there’s an exciting opportunity to sign up on Monday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., where you’ll also have the chance to grab one of those classic event shirts.
Grocery shopping has never looked so good! It’s refreshing to see our local law enforcement getting involved in such meaningful ways. It’s all about community, right? And who knows, maybe their “grocery bailing” skills will inspire some tasty recipes along the way!
