The Office of the Fayette County Sheriff has ACTIVATED the transportation and prescription pickup portion of the Winter Care Program. The Winter Care Program began 15 years ago as a result of the 2003 ice storm. This program provides enhanced safety and service to our community.

The Office of the Fayette County Sheriff provides the following services during PROGRAM ACTIVATION:

  • Transportation to and from employment for those who are employed in the medical industry or professionals that provide direct healthcare services.
  • Transportation to and from a critical medial appointment
  • Pick-up of critical prescription medications from local pharmacies.
  • Welfare checks for our most vulnerable citizens.
  • Distribution of winter coats and blankets
  • Collection of winter coats and blankets

If you or someone you know are in need of assistance this winter for any of the above, please call Scooter Stein at the Office of Sheriff at 859-252-1771 or 859-229-3623.
