This is the story from the Edwardsville Police: "Today one of our CSO’s saw Kristen and her daughter, Nora, picking up trash. When he asked her what they were up to, Kristen said they noticed some litter last week when they were at the Goshen Market, and they wanted to do something about it.

"Kristen noted that you are never too small to make a difference. She is right, and we appreciate her efforts! This is what makes our community great."
