94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Kentucky State Police Post Four is asking those who are able to contribute to their annual Shop with a Trooper program.
“This program is something that we’ve been doing for a long time,” said KSP Post Four Public Information Officer Master Trooper Bryan Washer. “It’s an opportunity to take kids that would never get a Christmas, never get presents, somebody’s shopping for them, and these kids are ones that are referred to us by some of the troopers that are seeing some of the hard cases either late at night or during the day, some of the cases where they just know that these are the kids that need to go shopping with us.”
According to KSP Post Four, 100 percent of all donations go towards giving area children who might not otherwise be able to the chance to celebrate Christmas. Last year, KSP Post Four troopers picked up 133 area children at their homes and took them to their local Walmart, where they received a goody bag filled with hygiene items and treats and then got to go shopping alongside law enforcement officials.
The goal for this year’s program is to raise $250 to $300 per child. KSP Post Four is also hoping to host a special meal for the children. Area businesses, organizations, and community members can contribute by writing a check payable to KSP Post 04 Shop with a Trooper. A link to donate via Venmo and contact information for Washer if you wish to donate in person can be found on the Trooper Washer Facebook page.
