BENTON – The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office is hosting a “Cops, Community, Coats and Kids” winter coat drive for students in our local elementary schools that come from families facing financial challenges and economic barriers.

This is the first year for the coat donation drive. Children’s sizes x-small to adult size large will be accepted.

You can drop off coats at the sheriff’s office on East Main Street in Benton anytime this month. They will make sure they find their way to the kids who need them most.
