The San Antonio Police Department gave a shoutout to one of its officers who went beyond his duties and helped a local couple in need.

On Saturday, SAPD tweeted a photo of Officer Loy Garcia with the most heartfelt message. In the photo, Garcia can be seen shopping in the freezer section of a convenience store.

Everyday, police officers respond to a variety of calls for service. Officer Loy Garcia recently responded to a location where a disabled couple was struggling to make ends meet. The situation touched him so much that he went to the nearest store and bought them groceries. #SAPD pic.twitter.com/FmsFWGTI2w
