It's been nearly two years since four Lakewood police officers were gunned down at a coffee shop and lost their lives.

To honor them, the Lakewood Police department is hosting the Fallen Officers Food Drive. The food drive kicks off Tuesday, on the anniversary of that fatal day.

“We’ll be here from 8 in the morning until 6 in the evening collecting whatever people feel they can bring to us,” says Lakewood Police Chief Chief Bret Farrar. “For the remainder of the week, though Sunday, you can drop off at any Forza Coffee locations in Pierce County, any Pierce County Library branches or the Lakewood Ace Hardware location.”

Farrar says turning that day into something positive is the best way to remember officers Ronald Owens, Tina Griswold, Greg Richards and Mark Renninger.
