The Elizabethtown Police Department is looking to support families impacted by the May 16 tornadoes.
“Similar to what we did following the 2021 Western Kentucky tornadoes, we’re collecting monetary donations to extend our Shop with a Cop program to children impacted by the recent southeastern Kentucky storms,” said EPD Public Information Officer Chris Denham. “Donations can be dropped off at the Elizabethtown Police Department or you can contact me to schedule a pickup.”
Denham says the effort is seeing an extra benefit from community support.
“All funds will go directly to the affected communities by way of the family resource coordinators within the school systems,” Denham said. “Additionally, I’d like to add that thanks to a very generous sponsor, every donation will be matched dollar for dollar up to $2,500.”
The EPD says it is also working on setting up an online platform for donations. Visit the EPD’s Facebook page for more information.
