Wednesday’s 11th annual Before the Turkey Soup Supper fundraiser at the First Christian Church in Perry raised more than $2,000 for this year’s Shop with a Cop program.
For the price of a free-will donation, visitors could choose among seven soups, from traditional favorites such as chili, potato soup and ham and bean to rarities such as chicken tortilla, cheeseburger, loaded baked potato and spicy Italian sausage.
Corn bread, oyster crackers and a bevy of dessert dishes rounded out the meal, with juices to wash it all down.
Employees and family members from the Perry Police Department served the soups, and young people from the EDGE Youth Group of the First Christian Church served the desserts.
Donations and nominations for the Shop with a Cop Program will be acceted through Nov. 30. You may download the nomination form here and returning it by Nov. 30 to the Perry Police Department at 908 Willis Ave. Contributions may be directed to:
