Pettis County Public Administrator Charli Ackerman is getting an early boost to her annual Helping Hearts campaign, thanks to Third National Bank.
The annual fundraiser, which will launch Feb. 4 and brings in an average of about $2,000 a year, is used by Ackerman to pay incidental costs not covered by Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid or other sources for the roughly 140 clients the office serves each year.
