Erie County Sheriff’s Mounted Police Gives Back To Community

Yesterday was a very special day as the Erie County Sheriff's Mounted Patrol held their annual donation drive to help the Response To Love Center.

This was the 205th year that the Mounted Police collected food and donations for the center. The Mounted Police were located outside of the Broadway market this past Sunday collecting donations.

Over the years the Mounted Police have raised thousands of dollars and collected tons of food to help the center. If you couldn't make it to the donation drive this past Sunday, you can still make a donation to the Response To Love Center by clicking HERE.
