There is still time to support area law enforcement agencies’ efforts to spread holiday cheer for area children in need.
Donations are still being accepted for Kentucky State Police Post Four’s 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.”
The goal for this year’s program is to raise $250 to $300 per child. 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. Contact Washer for more information.
Meanwhile, donations are being accepted for the Elizabethtown Police Department and Hardin County Sheriff’s Office’s annual Shop with a Cop program.
“Every year, our Shop of the Cop program provides essential clothing and a special toy to nearly 300 Hardin County children, but we can’t do it without the support of individuals and businesses throughout Hardin County,” said EPD Public Information Officer John Thomas. “Your donations, big or small, help keep kids warm this winter, and bring a little extra Christmas joy to their hearts. And yes, it is tax deductible.”
Donations can be dropped off at the Elizabethtown Police Department, located at 300 South Mulberry Street. Contact Thomas or Officer Chris Denham for more information.
