The Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office says its recent fundraiser raised $1,515 to support two local programs.

Sheriff Mark A. Schrader thanked the individuals and businesses that came out to support the event, along with the employees and community members who worked throughout the day.

Part of the money raised will go toward providing Christmas baskets for senior citizens enrolled in the Sheriff’s Office Well-Check Program.

Funds will also help provide healthy snacks for deputies to keep in their patrol vehicles for times when they are tied up on extended calls and unable to stop for a meal.

Sheriff Schrader gave special thanks to the women in the Sheriff’s Office who helped work the fundraiser and assist with the event.

“I want to personally thank each person and each business that came out and supported our fundraiser,” Schrader said, adding that the support will help the department continue serving both senior citizens and deputies.

The fundraiser was held Friday at the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office and included a hot dog lunch and bake sale.
