A police officer in Massachusetts is being praised after buying groceries for a homeless woman and helping her get a hotel room to weather a snowstorm.
Officer Keith Perry was responding to a call about a woman in distress, when he learned that she was homeless and had not eaten in a while.
With a winter storm approaching, Perry decided to buy the woman some groceries and help her find a place to sleep.
Perry paid for the food himself, while the woman’s distant relative sprung for the hotel room.
The department praised Officer Perry as a “class act” and an example of public service, sharing photos from the grocery store on Facebook – while keeping the woman’s face hidden to protect her privacy.
