"More than one person has come over and said, 'Hey, thanks for being out here,'" said Drury. It's a part of initiative helping to curb recent violence, by bringing together the faith community, law enforcement and neighbors. "It's a way to bring more unity into the community so everyone like yourself and your family feel safe," said Drury, to one shopper.
