On Thursday, Hamilton County Reporter Publisher Jeff Jellison presented a $1,500 donation for the Shop for Kids program to Hamilton County Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush and Shop for Kids program board members.
“This donation was made possible as a result of revenue earned through subscription and advertising sales to local residents and merchants,” Jellison said. “Because of that, we see this as a donation from not only the Reporter, but also from the community. Our children are our future and the Reporter wants to ensure opportunities for positive experiences between law enforcement and local children.”
Shop for Kids matches less fortunate Hamilton County children with a Sheriff’s Office employee during the winter holidays to go on a shopping trip. Kids receive up to $200 to purchase clothes, school supplies and presents to brighten up their holidays.
