ROANOKE, Va. – Exalted Church in Roanoke and Haley Toyota teamed up on Friday to host a lunch for police officers across the Roanoke Valley.
The two have been hosting the lunch for years.
Exalted Church Pastor Jim Asberry said the goal is to show officers the community recognizes their sacrifice.
"It's a profession that doesn't get a lot of accolades. In fact, in today's world, we're seeing a lot of negatives, but we want to say we appreciate what you do," said Asberry.
Asberry said they hold the lunch at this time of year because May is Police Appreciation Month.Â
