Community Rallies to Support Family of Fallen Hero Officer Glenn Hilliard

June 21, 2022

There is something special about the Delmarva community, and that was again made clear after tragedy struck.

We stick together, we rise in the time of need, and we carry one another's burdens.

As we mourn the line of duty death of Deputy First Class Glenn Hilliard, we are gathering for vigils, small and large fundraisers and memorials. We are channeling our collective grief to do good and to help in a multitude of ways. As of publication, these are the efforts of which we know; please add information on additional efforts in the comments. As always, verify fundraisers. Thank you, Delmarva! This is what we do in the city of kindness.
