Shop with a Cop

Last Saturday, Karen attended the Shop with a Cop in Concord! This is an event where law enforcement in the area, including the Sheriff's Department, City of Concord, and City of Kannapolis, volunteer their time to take children to K-Mart and help them pick out their Christmas wishes!

Everyone met at the Boys and Girls Club in Concord for breakfast and crafts.






Even Santa attended!









Each officer was matched with a child.






Sixty children participated in this event!




The child rode with their officer to K-Mart (with the siren on!) Have you ever hear 60 sirens at once??




Each child was given $250 to spend at K-Mart. Some children bought clothes. Some bought toys. Some even bought christmas gifts for their parents.

This is an annual event that gives children the chance to have gifts they might not have had otherwise.

The Concord Police raise money throughout the year to fund this event. If you're interested in donating to this cause, you can contact the Concord Police department and if you're interested in reading more about this event, The Independent Tribune did an article on the event. Click here.
