Stoddard County, Missouri - Each year the Shop With A Hero program brings joy to hundreds of children by offering them an opportunity to shop with a local firemen, policemen, EMTs, and other local heroes.
The last thing a child wants on Christmas morning is a toy without its batteries. So along with the toys the Shop With a Hero program asks for BATTERY DONATIONS.
County Wide Insurance delivered all sizes of batteries today to the Stoddard County 911 office in Dexter. The employees have been collecting batteries for a couple of weeks to help support the need of our local Shop With a Hero program.
AA, AAA, C, and D are needed, but AA are in need more than anything. If you would like to donate please ask your business to collect them this week and drop them off at the Dexter Police Department, Bernie Police Department, Stoddard County Sheriff's Department or Stoddard County Ambulance.
