The Hope Police Department is looking for help, so officers can help children in the northeastern Bartholomew County community.
Marshal Matt Tallent says the police department has set up a Go Fund Me page online as they try to raise $2,000 to bring some Christmas cheer to children for their annual Hope Cops Christmas for Kids.
He said the police department tries to help 10 children a year at a cost of between $150 and $200 each. The effort relies heavily on donations. Last year, the police set up a Go Fund Me page and the response was so successful that they are trying it again, Tallent said.
As of this morning, about $760 had been raised toward the $2,000 goal.
