Every December, the Guthrie Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #105 sponsors an annual Shop With A Cop Event. Guthrie police officers unite to take needy children from the community each year and spend the day with them.
This year the event will take place inside Wal Mart, on December 17th, at 6:00. Santa Claus will be on hand along with cookies and drinks, but before that the FOP will be accepting donations.
The goal is to provide a happy Christmas to those children who otherwise may not have received gifts due to family and/or financial hardships. Fund-raising efforts throughout the year make this event possible. Families are chosen for a variety of reasons such as extreme financial hardship due to loss of employment, loss of parent(s) during the current year, catastrophic loss such as house fires, etc.
The Guthrie Police Department has been proud to sponsor this program for 10-plus years.
The service also provides everyone; police, citizens, and businesses an opportunity to give back to the community and share in the spirit of giving.
The police department is asking for assistance to make this project a tremendous success. If you are interested in donating to the Guthrie Police Department “Shop With A Cop” Program, please send your tax-deductible monetary donation, in the form of a check or money order to Guthrie Police Department, 306 West Oklahoma, Guthrie, Oklahoma 73044.
If you have any additional questions contact the department at (405) 282-3535.
I really like it when folks get together and share thoughts.
Great blog, continue the good work!
