Hartville, MO. – The Wright County Sheriff has challenged the community to take part in this year’s Shop with a Hero program with the intent to expand it further for the kids of Wright County.
This event traditionally serves 175-200 kids in the Wright County area, and has mostly been organized and fueled by the efforts of the Mountain Grove Police Department. The challenge, Sheriff BJ Adler says, is issued out to the other emergency responders and community organizations.
Ther Sheriff goes on to say that ways they can get involved include fill the boot fundraisers, or for police departments to ask their local businesses for their involvement. “We need our businesses, churches, civic groups, schools, and neighbors involved too. Sponsor a child, host a fundraiser, donate, or volunteer — every bit helps.”
Those looking to take part are asked to contact Wright County dispatch and ask to speak to the sheriff about participation. The phone number is 417-547-7182.
