You know, we're getting close to Christmas and even Santa needs a little help fulfilling all of those wish lists. Today, he got help from some Penllis County deputies. Bay News 9's Melissa Ikeman went along for Santa. Santa is getting some extra help this year. 15, 12, and 10. About 100 Penllis County Sheriff's deputies and agency staff shopped for Staint Nick this morning at Target in St. Petersburg. try to help kids that are victims of crime or in need of financial reasons. And this we're doing shopping today. Shopping with some $55,000. Money raised at the 22nd annual Ride and Run with the Stars event. Armed with wish lists, I'm looking for a hip-hop CD right now. Santa's shoppers know exactly what children registered with the sheriff's Christmas sharing project want. Soccer balls. Every kid has a chance to submit a wish list. Uh sometimes it's toys, sometimes it's bikes, sometimes it's essential needs like underwear, socks. So um it's bittersweet. You try to help out as much as you can. So they load up their carts with toys, sporting goods, cars, dolls, and everything else. Short to change Christmas for some 800 children in Penllis County. That's just trying to help them out, and they should just make them feel happy once they get uh these gifts. It's just very uh heartwarming uh to help out in their line of work when seeing the worst of the worst can be the daily grind. Hang on to those heartwarming moments. It has to be the best feeling in the whole world to see that smile on their face in Penllis County. Melissa Ikeman, Bay News9. And deputies will hand deliver the Christmas gifts over the next few children who asked for bicycles. Those wishes will be granted by Bectal Financial Services. It will be donating 117 bikes.
