MT. VERNON — Jefferson County residents can once again show their appreciation for local law enforcement through the 2019 Christmas for Cops program. Donations are currently being accepted and will be taken until December 20th.

Mt. Vernon City Councilman Donte Moore says one of the most meaningful aspects of the program is what local school kids do for emergency personnel.

You can drop off your Christmas for Cops donations to Community First Bank of the Heartland or Peoples National Bank. For more information, you can visit their Facebook page here.
