 Do you worry about having enough money to last throughout retirement? Give Reed Potter at Raymond James A'Call. Reed has 26 years experience helping folks enjoy their best life in their retirement years. Recently, the City of Pikeville's first responders collectively made a large donation to all 21 Pike County and Pikeville independent schools. Each school received a donation of $500, totaling $10,500 from Pikeville Police, fire and dispatch. The money will be used to purchase different necessities across all schools. He was different for each school. Some schools needed school supplies. Some needed things like for the computer labs. Some needed backpacks. Some needed clothes. Some was even wanting to know if we could provide donations of food. So COVID shut us down there for a year or two. We wasn't able to do that, but we've started back up with that. And what we do, we do it in a form of a $500 donation. They can spend it however they want. If the need is those school supplies, then they can get that. If it's taking care of a child, buying them clothes or making sure they've got food, they can use it in that way. But it's just a way of us giving back to the schools in the community that support us all year long as well. All Pikeville first responders are more than happy to support the schools that support them in return. This donation wouldn't have been possible without community involvement and fundraising. Anytime you can do something for someone else, you know, you should have a good feeling about that. But I mean, I think that, you know, what we do here at the Pikeville Police Department, we have a column to do. And I think I can speak for everyone here. We have a column to try to help out kids and we love helping out the schools as well. So anything that we can do that goes towards kids just like our Christmas program is, we're all for it and makes us feel great. Reporting from Outantop News, I'm Nick Colum.
