For the eighth year in a row, the St. Cloud Police Department helped the youngest residents of the city of St. Cloud have a merrier Christmas through the Shop with a Cop program.
Volunteer police officers paired up with several children at St. Cloud’s Walmart Dec. 15 for the program.
Thirty-four families took part in this year’s program.
“Thanks to community support, we are able to offer yet another Shop with a Cop experience for St. Cloud’s children,” Police Department Community Outreach Officer Ron Caswell said.
“We are thankful to Walmart stores and local businesses for donating gift cards and to our volunteers who put in extra hours during the busy holiday season. We are very proud of our community making such a generous and positive contribution to the children who need it the most during this holiday season.”
The Shop with a Cop program allows for the police officers and staff to share Christmas with children and families who are experiencing financial difficulties.
The children, who must live within city limits, are selected for the program through a recommendation by their schools.
