Christmas Brighter For Many Wabash County Families

Dozens of Wabash County children will have a Merrier Christmas this year thanks to the Shop With A Cop/Fireman/EMT program. Yesterday was shopping day at the Princeton Walmart as each youngster was given a $300 budget with at least half of that earmarked for clothes according to organizer Mark Seaton, Mt. Carmel Fire Department captain….

The program is made possible from community donations that Seaton and others solicit throughout the year…

And Seaton said the kids aren’t the only ones who benefit from the program…

The families along with law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMT’s gathered at the elementary school yesterday to pair up before heading to Princeton for the shopping spree.
