Quakertown Borough Police Department’s 12th annual Shop with a Cop program is set for 5 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 15, at the Quakertown Walmart.
With support from the local community and businesses, the committee has raised over $70,000 and will host over 320 children this year, an increase from 230 children in 2021.
At the event, children will each be paired with a police officer and given a $150 gift card to purchase gifts for themselves and their family members. Children will also receive meals to take home and a school bag full of essential items and school supplies. While the children are shopping, parents also will be given $100 to shop for gifts and/or home items.
Over 80 officers from 20 local law enforcement agencies have joined forces to make this year’s Shop with a Cop Program possible.
Participating departments include Quakertown Borough, Bedminister Township, Bucks County Adult Probation and Parole, Bucks County Sheriff’s Office, Dublin Borough, Hilltown Township, Marlborough Township, Newtown Township, PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, PA Fish and Boat Commission, PA Game Commission, PA State Police, Perkasie Borough, Pennridge Regional, Plumstead Township, Richland Township, Springfield Township, Telford Borough, Upper Saucon Township, and Warwick Township.
Multiple departments have also partnered with the Quakertown Shop with a Cop Program by sponsoring families in their own communities.
