Brotherhood of Fulton Donates to “Operation Christmas”

Brotherhood of Fulton President Jessie Henry presented Hempstead County Sheriff James Singleton with a check for $500 Monday (12-4) to benefit Operation Christmas.  The annual effort by the Sheriff’s Department purchases Christmas presents for needy Hempstead County children each year.  Sheriff Singleton said donations have been less this year due to the economy and the donation from the Brotherhood is very welcome.

Sheriff Singleton says they plan to purchase gifts for about 40 Hempstead County children this year and will be doing their annual “Shop With A Cop”” outing in the coming days.  Sheriff Singleton also noted they will have a party and gifts for about 22 kids in Bingen later this month.

Anyone who would like to help with “Operation Christmas” can contact Sheriff Singleton.
