At the 14th annual Protect & Serve fundraiser, officers from the SPD will volunteer to serve alongside wait staff at the restaurant from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. to help raise money and awareness for Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks (BBBSO).

Protect & Serve highlights the agency’s need for male volunteers while requesting financial support for its mentoring programs. Bigs must complete an orientation, interview, and training program and commit to three to four outings per month with their Little for at least one year.
