Donate to The 2023 ‘Store With A Cop’ Occasion

Certainly, it is that point of 12 months once more!It is time for all of us to have a look round and see who wants some assist with Christmas this 12 months.  And as , an annual occasion is able to roll!  It is Store with a Cop!

Should you’re not acquainted, mainly it is an occasion the place needy or underprivileged youngsters get to spend 100 {dollars}  on the native Wal Mart, and so they’re escorted and assisted by a member of our very personal native enforcement.  That does not sound like lots now, however… bear in mind if you had been seven?  Twenty bucks was alot of cash again then!  ANYWAY.  Members of the Pettis County Sheriff’s Division and the Sedalia Police Division take part yearly.  It is a good way to get the children accustomed to and educated about legislation enforcement at a younger age.  They’ve so many questions on the way it all works, and I do know I haven’t got the solutions!

And, it is a good way to ensure the children are concerned of their vacation celebrations.  I’ve heard so many tales through the years concerning the youngsters utilizing the cash to purchase presents for his or her siblings, grandparents, dad and mom, courses in school, and many others.  I imply, positive, the children are inspired to purchase for themselves, too, however… a whole lot of these youngsters need to make their entire households pleased this 12 months.  And YOU can assist!

So here is the nuts and bolts.  The buying day is December ninth, which suggests you gotta get donations in by that Friday, December eighth. You possibly can drop off your donations at each WK areas on the town:  2901 S Restrict, and 3310 W Broadway, Sedalia.  And, don’t be concerned for those who really feel like you may’t drop off the cash your self.  There may be an alternative choice – you may at all times name all the way down to the Police Station, and so they’ll get your message to an Officer to come back and decide it up.

Now, if in case you have every other questions, you may contact Larry Klein over at WK (though for those who wanna discuss to him personally, he is off Thursdays) at 660-826-2700. Once I talked with Larry, he inspired native companies and workplaces to start out competing!  He talked about how some folks final 12 months had a bake sale to lift cash down on the courthouse.  He’d like to see the entire neighborhood become involved!  I really feel like that might be alot of enjoyable….. and provides somebody some fairly wonderful bragging rights….  I will allow you to guys run wild with that one.

Shoppingly yours,
