LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The River City Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) spread holiday cheer at Norton Children's Hospital Friday.
Continuing with their 23-year tradition, members of the FOP in Louisville and Jeffersonville delivered gifts to each of the hospital's young patients.
While coronavirus kept them from delivering the gifts in person this year, members of the FOP still found joy in keeping the tradition going.
"It's something we plan to do every year forever, because it's really heartwarming for the officers," FOP Press Secretary Dave Mutchler said. "We tell our officers that once you do it, you'll want to come every year."
Members of the FOP collected and delivered gifts for about 160 children at the hospital.
"It's absolutely something that you never forget," Mutchler said.
