Deputies from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office help make Christmas a little brighter for area children.
On Saturday, deputies paired up with local children in need to help them shop for Christmas presents through the Shop With A First Responder Program. Kids, deputies, and store employees alike were all smiles as they browsed the aisles at the Coffeyville Walmart.
The Shop With a Cop program allows area kids to have a positive interaction with first responders in a relaxed environment while getting to experience a joyful holiday experience they might otherwise not have. The goal is to build trust and enhance understanding between first responders and the citizens they serve. The program is supported by fundraising and donations from businesses and the community.
This weekend’s event paired more than 200 children with a deputy for a fn, holiday experience.
