The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office received a generous donation from the Catalyst Church of Evansville. 

Pastor David Whitmore donated 20 brand new  zero-degree sleeping bags for people in need.

According the VCSO, the idea behind the donation is to give Deputies the ability to provide a free sleeping bag to an individual who does not have a place to stay.

The sleeping bag would then serve as an emergency bed, providing warmth and comfort, in the event shelter or other housing was unavailable.
