Oakwood Hills celebrates police week with free coffee & doughnuts
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – It's National Police Week, and one senior center is helping to celebrate those who protect our community.
Oakwood Hills Senior Living gave out free doughnuts and coffee to its seniors and members of law enforcement Tuesday.
One worker at the center says it's a great way to connect with members of the community. There were also activities, giving them a chance to have a little fun with the officers.
'We have a big presence of of veterans, which I think kind of goes hand in hand with law enforcement. We just have a lot of respect for law enforcement,' said Katie Staniec, the Oakwood Hills Senior Living sales director.
Tuesday is also the start of the senior home's new initiative: Blue Tuesday. All staff and residents are encouraged to wear blue on Tuesdays to show their support for law enforcement.
One loveable K9 from Altoona named 'Donut' also swung by to help celebrate.
