The Pike County First Responders group Yesterday gave all 21 Schools of Pike County a $500 gift card, which totals to more than $10,000.

The group, made up of Pikeville Fire, Pikeville Police and Pikeville 911 dispatch, donated the gift cards towards each school’s family resource counselor to acquire items students might need through the school year.

According to the Pikeville Police Department Facebook page, the donation was made possible by community donations and fundraising received through the department’s Community Outreach program throughout the year.
