Volunteers loaded boxes Monday for the Fraternal Order of Police food drop at FOP Lodge 13 on Corvette Drive. Helbig, president of the local FOP, said that 130 boxes of food and toiletry items were to be handed out by the organization to help people feed their families in the Bowling Green area. “This is the largest drop we’ve ever done,” Helbig said of the program which has been in existence for more than 30 years.
