The Junction City Breakfast Optimist Club has donated $200 to Shop with a Cop.
Nine years ago the Junction City Police Department began Shop With A Cop. Geary County USD 475 and St. Xavier’s students identified by their school’s counselors and principal are given a $150.00 shopping experience with a member of Law Enforcement at Wal-Mart prior to Christmas.
Food, hats, and gloves are donated above the $150.00. Officer Torres told the Optimists that “approximately 25 law enforcement officers share time shopping and establishing a positive relationship with 60 to 70 students on a designated day in December and prior to Christmas.”
For ways to donate to Shop With A Cop, contact Al Babcock at 785-762-5912.
