(KAIR)--The efforts of a young Atchison child, who raised funds to benefit other Atchison students, are being commemorated.
According to Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, 5-year-old Isla, whose last name was not provided, held a lemonade stand in Atchison on Saturday, raising $1,500 for the Heroes Helping Program.
Wilson told MSC News the program, in its second year, provides school supplies to children who otherwise would go without. It was developed by Atchison Police Officers, headed up by Officer Alex Moore.
Wilson calls young Isla a young friend of the department, saying that her lemonade stand success makes her, in his words, “a hero helping, that’s for sure,” adding that he, and the department, are appreciative for the community stepping up to the support the program.
