Warrington Township Police Department held its fifth annual “Shop with a Cop” event Dec. 7, at the Walmart Supercenter in Warrington.
Twenty-two officers were on hand to shop with 35 elementary school students who live in Warrington Township and attend Barclay, Mill Creek and Titus Elementary schools. The officers helped the children select and purchase holiday gifts for their family members and something special for themselves.
Warrington Police Department worked with the elementary schools to identify families in need and the department received a grant from Walmart and a donation from the Warrington Rotary Club to help pay for the gifts. Peregrine Associates also provided invitations and bus passes for all students.
Other “Shop with a Cop” volunteers included Warrington Rotary Club members and the Garrison Carida of the 501st Legion, (the costuming organization dedicated to celebrating “Star Wars” through the creation and use of quality costumes that portray characters from the “Star Wars” universe). Lizzi Custom Graphics created a short video about the event, which can be found at youtu.be/KLo0smNfWMU.
