Coffee County Sheriff’s Department, elementary schools team up to collect items for assisted living centers

Last week, Coffee County Sheriff’s Department teamed up with a pair of elementary schools for service projects.

The safety patrols at Hickerson Elementary and North Coffee Elementary each collected items to donate to McArthur Manor and Autumn Oaks assisted living facilities.

Items collected included non-slip socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, blankets, brushes, shampoo and other similar items.

The students and members of the sheriff’s department delivered the items to excited residents last week.
