Officers from the Tracy Police Department were on hand Thursday to help than Stein School Key Club students who headed a clothing and food drive throughout the school. The students were originally working for 360 articles of clothing but ended their two-month long clothing drive with more than 2,600 articles of clothing, ranging from shoes and socks to coats and gloves.

The clothing was donated to Interfaith Ministries, and students are now working toward a can food drive goal of 2,700 pounds. They are currently at the 300-pound mark with a few weeks left before the food is divided among local charities for distribution.

The Tracy Police Department has been working with the Stein High Key Club and Stein High to interact with the students and show them opportunities in law enforcement.

During the Thursday visit, the students got to see some of the department’s technology, including the mobile command center, patrol car video camera systems and computer terminals.

The day was capped off with a demonstration by a K-9 unit.

The Key Club student and school staff who spearheaded the food and clothing drives were treated to lunch by De Vinci’s.
