Trigg County Sheriff Aaron Acree is continuing the tradition started by former Sheriff Ray Burnam to provide assistance to some needy families in the community.
Sheriff Acree and Administrative Assistant Faye Godair discussed this year's Christmas Drive recently, with Acree noting they have been contacted by the community about conducting a drive of some type to help families in Trigg County.
Godair says they will select ten families this year with the help of the Trigg County School's Youth Service Center. Acree says they welcome businesses and individuals to participate in a couple of ways.
Acree says they are planning a fun evening for the families selected.
He adds the children will be allowed to shop for whatever they need.
Godair says checks and donations need to be made to Sheriff Aaron Acree for tax purposes.
Donations can be dropped off at the Trigg County Sheriff's Department. Godair says they have already raised more than $1,400 through the Christmas Drive.
