Springfield teamed up on Wednesday to provide 200 Christmas meals to families in need.

Mayor Domenic J. Sarno joined Springfield Police Commissioner Cheryl Clapprood, Retired Massachusetts State Police Col. Kerry Gilpin and Hampden County Sheriff Nick Cocchi in their tradition of helping feed community members during the holidays.

“As this pandemic drags on, a lot of families are in a dangerous place when it comes to being able to provide for themselves and their loved ones,” Cocchi said.

The group distributed turkeys, hams, canned goods and toys at the Springfield Police Training Facility, thanking the support from the Big Y, Pekarski Sausage and the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation for making the event possible.

“I appreciate Big Y and Michael Pekarski at Pekarski Sausage in South Deerfield for their generosity to help make this happen. Their willingness to put people ahead of profits will truly make a difference for so many local families and that’s what the holidays should be about,” Gilpin said.
