Acadia Parish Deputies are giving back to the community this week ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
To help out elderly residents, deputies came together to donate nearly $1,000 to purchase 25 Thanksgiving baskets.
Monday, deputies delivered the baskets to various areas around Acadia Parish.
"This was a rewarding event for APSO as much as it was for those in need," the sheriff's office said.
Below are photos from the distribution:
