FRANKLIN, Ky. – Until April 15, the Franklin Police Department is accepting snack donations to help with this year’s Franklin-Simpson High School Project Graduation class of 2026 snack fundraiser.

Community members can donate any individually wrapped snacks, canned or bottled drinks to the police department until the deadline to help Project Graduation make sure each senior has what they need.

The class of 2026 will continue to hold these fundraisers until the month of May, where many local businesses will provide donations as students prepare to walk the stage.
