Orosco said Deming Police Department personnel participated in the initiative to raise money for less fortunate families in Deming who may not be able to afford the traditional holiday meal.
Police department employees paid $30 for the privilege of skipping shaving for the entire month, and the department raised approximately $700 – enough to purchase complete meals to feed 30 families.
Orosco said meals were distributed Tuesday.
“No Shave November” was suggested by the evening shift’s Community Policing Project organizers as part of the department’s community outreach.
