ARH Foundation for Healthier Communities Donates $5,000 to Support Kentucky State Police Post 10 “Shop with a Trooper” Program

Harlan, KY – Harlan ARH Hospital recently presented a $5,000 donation from the ARH Foundation for Healthier Communities to Kentucky State Police Post 10 in support of the annual “Shop with a Trooper” program, benefiting families across Harlan, Bell, and Knox counties.

“Shop with a Trooper” helps ensure children and families in the region have a brighter holiday season by connecting community support with the gift of essential items and special moments during the holidays.
 
“We’re proud to support the ‘Shop with a Trooper’ program and we are grateful to the donors that make work like this possible,” said Whittney Allen, Director of Foundation Marketing & Communications for the ARH Foundation for Healthier Communities. “When donors give to the ARH Foundation, they’re investing in neighbors right here at home—and 100% of every dollar donated goes back into the communities we serve.”
 
Joe Horton, Harlan ARH Community CEO, emphasized the impact of collaboration across local partners. “Programs like ‘Shop with a Trooper’ remind us what community looks like in action,” Horton said. “We’re proud to stand alongside Kentucky State Police Post 10 to support families across Harlan, Bell, and Knox counties and help create a holiday season filled with dignity, hope, and care.”
