Sheriff’s Department and Wal-mart team up to recreate the “Shop with a Cop” event for kids who could not attend<\/p>\n
The Genesee County Sheriff’s Department reached out to Wal-mart this past week to see if they could team up to recreate the “Shop with a Cop” event that was held last Saturday.<\/p>\n
\n
Two families who were scheduled to attend last weekend were unable to be there because of circumstances beyond their control.<\/p>\n
Six deputies showed up today to take the children shopping for gifts.<\/p>\n
“We are here to kinda do a re-do,” says Diane Waters, Wal-mart Store Manager.<\/p>\n
“It’s something important to us and the officers. More importantly to these children and that they get to enjoy this, thats why we do this”<\/p>\n
Each child gets a $100 gift card from law enforcement. The officers then go through the store and shop with the kids.<\/p>\n
The gifts are then wrapped, the kids get a gift bag, a balloon and get to sit and talk with Santa.<\/p>\n
Police reach out to the Wal-mart Foundation and apply for a grant each year.<\/p>\n
This year $6,500 was allocated to the “Shop with Cop” program.<\/p>\n
“They (officers) are allowed to spend it on anything they want to. It’s their choice to do a shop with a cop part of it,” says Waters.<\/p>\n
“Based on the enjoyment last week, we didn’t want these kids to have to miss it all,” says Sgt.Thomas Sanfratello.<\/p>\n
“It’s a positive thing so it’s something we want to do. It gives the kids a different perspective of us. They see us as something enjoyable instead of the negative you see on TV.”<\/p>\n
“They can look at it as I had fun with the officer”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
