Shop With A Cop
KENTUCKY....
Every year, the Shop With a Cop program benefits children who may not have a visit from Santa Claus or the money to buy presents for mom and dad or their siblings. To some families it means the difference that spreads Christmas cheer. More than 80 underprivileged students from Pike, Floyd, Johnson, Martin and Magoffin counties were thrilled Tuesday when officers of Kentucky State Police Post 9 in Pikeville took them shopping at the Pikeville Wal-Mart, while each child had $100 to spend on whatever would make their Christmas season merry. Following the shopping spree, the kids were taken to McDonald’s for lunch. KSP officers say smiles from the needy children make all they have done worth the effort.
