Law Enforcement for Youth's annual Shop with a Cop program provides low income and at-risk youth ages 3 to 15 an opportunity to interact in a positive way with law enforcement officers and shop for a holiday gift. Each child is given a $25 gift card and partnered with a law enforcement officer. The pair then shop together for the child's gift.

This year's event will be held at Wal-Mart on South Commercial on December 15 at 9 a.m.

Law Enforcement for Youth is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide opportunities to low income, at-risk and medically challenged youth.

Donations are currently needed to help the group meet their goal of offering this experience to 400 children. Youth service agencies have identified over 1,800 local children who would qualify for the program. You can download the Contribution Request Form (Word)
