MT. VERNON — Christmas for Cops is raising money for local law enforcement again this year, and you can help the program just by grocery shopping Friday, December 6. Local leaders will be bagging items at Kroger that day, and tips made will go towards Christmas for Cops.

Mt. Vernon City Councilman Donte Moore and Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce President Brandon Bullard will be a part of the event December 6. They say they have fun with this event each year.

Donations can also be made at Community First Bank of the Heartland or at Peoples National Bank. The deadline to donate is December 20.
