The Hiawassee Police Department is thanking the Northeast Georgia Mustang Club for a generous donation to its annual Shop with a Hero Christmas shopping program.

Shop with a Hero pairs Hiawassee officers with deserving local children for a Christmas shopping spree, giving kids a chance to pick out gifts with the help of local law enforcement.

In addition to the financial contribution, the club also dropped off fresh-baked banana bread. Officers assured the public the baked goods “will be disposed of properly.”

Residents interested in supporting the program can make checks payable to Shop with a Hero or bring cash donations to City Hall at 50 River Street in Hiawassee.

“Thank you for helping make Christmas brighter for our local kids,” the department said.
