It’s about that time of year again! The Lincoln Police Department, in conjunction with first responder organizations in Benton County, MO, brings smiles to a large group of kids by shopping for Christmas with local Heroes.

The program relies on donations from the community and businesses to provide the shopping dollars for the children.

Donations are accepted at the front desk of Lincoln City Hall in any amount. Checks should be made out to the Lincoln Police Department with “Shop with a Hero” in the memo line. You can also drop a donation in the overnight drop box at Lincoln City Hall or mail to P.O. Box 17 Lincoln, MO 65338. Donations can be made year-round!

We have personally seen the excitement and joy on the faces of these children. It’s very heartwarming and rewarding to see. Please help us spread some joy to them by donating to this cause.

As always, please remember our police officers, firefighters, first responders and military members serving worldwide – along with their families in your prayers.

Sincerely,
Santa’s elves AKA Lincoln Police Department
