Movies with a Cop and School Supply Drive to benefit Rio Rancho Educational Foundation

The Rio Rancho Police Department, Rio Rancho Fire and Rescue and Rio Rancho Public Schools are partnering to hold a school supply drive in July.

The “We Have Your Back-Pack! School Supply Drive” event will take place from 5:15-6:30 p.m. July 16 at the Premiere 14 Movie Theater.

As part of RRPD's "Movie with a Cop" program, there will also be a screening of "Despicable Me 4" for $5.40 and an opportunity to support local students as they prepare for the upcoming school year.

Attendees are encouraged to bring new school supplies, which will be collected and donated to the Rio Rancho Educational Foundation. The contributions will directly benefit students in need, helping to ensure they have the necessary tools for a successful academic year.

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Rio Rancho community for their enthusiastic support and participation in this event,” RRPD Capt. Jacquelynn Reedy said. “Your kindness and generosity are what make events like this possible and impactful.”
