HAZLETON, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— Families in need are getting some help less than two weeks before Christmas.

Hazleton City Police and the grocery store chain Giant teamed up today for a food drive called "Pack The Cruiser".

The first-time event aimed to fill a police SUV with non-perishable food, snacks, juices, and other items.

In only two hours, the police cruiser was nearly filled.

The food will go to what police call "Blue Santa Families", families with children from infants to teens who are victims of fire, crime, or just need a helping hand.
