 Detective Tom Pyles, a UFCW Local 400 member, used to be a DJ but left the mic for the badge and Annapolis kids are better for it. A former foster child himself, Pyles started collecting backpacks and filling them with supplies for children who are going into emergency foster care, a situation that immediately takes them away from their homes and school with nothing but the clothes on their backs. “Unfortunately you see children who are abused and neglected, they need hope, they need dignity." Pyles told ABC 2 in an interview. When the children get their “backpacks of love” as he calls them, he said their reaction is “ten times greater than opening a Christmas present.” Read more and watch the interview here.
