Young Stocking Stuffer
Updated: Wednesday, December 19 2012, 03:56 PM EST
A boy from Macon County is leading a project to give Christmas stockings to local children in need.
Eight-year-old Corban Tallent raised the money to fill 200 stockings with candy, toys, and fruit.
The "Rise Club" at Franklin high school helped stuff them yesterday.
They will be given to kids taking part in this year's "Shop With A Cop" program, which is sponsored by the Macon County Sheriff's Office.
Corban's excited to help, "today we stuffed 200 hundred stockings and on Friday is going to be "Shop With a Cop" and I'm going to stand by Santa Claus and give every kid their stocking."
The "Shop With A Cop" event is this Friday in Macon County.
