This year, 33 members of law enforcement from 7 different agencies partnered with 60 local kids for a Saturday morning filled with holiday shopping, excitement, and meaningful connections with officers from across the community.
Each year, this program allows law enforcement to brighten the holiday season for local families who may be facing challenges. Working closely with USD 475, they identify children who would benefit from a little extra support and encouragement this time of year. Through this partnership, we ensure the event reaches families who will truly feel its impact, helping create a holiday experience that is joyful and memorable.
A huge thank you goes to the volunteers from Second Missionary Baptist Church for preparing breakfast for all of the kids and officers. They also thanked the team from RE/MAX Signature Properties for volunteering their time to help wrap gifts throughout the morning.
This event would not be possible without the generosity of our local businesses and community partners. Their donations throughout the year ensure that Shop With a Cop continues to grow and make a positive difference in the lives of children and families in Junction City.
