(Ripley County, Ind.) – This Christmas will be a very special one for kids in Ripley County.

The Twisted Wrench in Versailles teamed up with the Infamous Few for a Children’s Christmas Drive. Clothes, toys, and monetary donations were accepted to benefit the children of Ripely County.

Local businessman Kevin Wang, the new owner of Wheelock Lake Campground, generously matched the donations and presented the group with a $3,000 check on Saturday.

The goal was to raise enough money to gather enough donations for up to 100 children. The group announced that they surpassed their goal and will be able to give assistance to 110 Ripley County children.
