Thank you for making Shop with a Cop a Success
The Second annual Juniata-Mifflin County Shop with a Cop event took place on Wednesday, Dec. 14. We want to thank everyone who helped either financially, by volunteering their time, or by providing space to make the second annual event a great success. The Shop with a Cop event allowed 15 children from Mifflin and Juniata counties to spend time with law enforcement while shopping for themselves and their family members at Lewistown Walmart. To say that everyone had a great time would be an understatement. Following the shopping event, the children were invited to the FAME substation in Granville for pizza and other refreshments. United Way volunteers, FAME personnel and police officers were on hand to wrap the presents that the children purchased for their loved ones.
Shop with a Cop would not have been possible without the community support that we received. We wanted to thank the following businesses, organizations, and individuals for supporting the event financially: Molly Maid-Lois Grose, JC Agricultural Committee, Major League Bottle Shop LLC, Big Daddy's Grill and Chill LLC, MCS Bank, Mifflin County Sheriff's Office, Mrs. Donna Appleby, Richard & Gloria Taylor, Paul L. Prough JR., Carpet One Floor & Home, Blanks Windows & Doors, MC Offenders Supervision Fund, Randall & Joette Yocum, Giant Food Stores, and Walmart bakery department.
A special thank you goes out to the PA State Police, all the local police stations, probation officers, and representatives from the sheriff's office who took a part in the day. We are very grateful for the time that they gave to the children. We also want to thank FAME for allowing us to use their space, as well as all the volunteers who made the day go smoothly. We greatly appreciate everyone who had a part in making this program a success and for standing with our message of giving and coming together to be a stronger community!
