WITY — Police and firefighters help kids for Christmas
The Danville Police and Firefighters have made the Christmas season better for some local kids.
Dec 9, 2020 |
The Danville Police Association Charitable Organization decided not to have the traditional Clothes for Kids shopping event to limit COVID 19 exposure for the children and their families, as well as officers and families who participate in our annual event. The money was redistributed to the Project Success of Vermilion County Christmas Wish List program. Five thousand dollars was donated to make 199 Vermilion County children’s Christmas a little bit better.
Members of Danville Firefighters Local 429 delivered over 200 winter coats to Danville School District #118 as part of the Operation Warm program. These coats will be distributed among the grade schools to children in need. The coats were purchased through fundraising efforts of firefighters and will be delivered to children as soon as possible given the current COVID-19 restrictions.
