Cops & Kids Shopping

On December 11th we hosted 99 children from 19 elementary schools at the Target Store, 4125 Austell Rd., Austell Ga. They were provided $125 to shop for themselves and family. The day was filled with smiles, laughs, shopping, and visits with Santa. Many thanks to management and the employees at Target Store, 4125 Austell Rd, Austell Ga. for their ongoing support and space to hold this event. In addition, many thanks to all of the Volunteers, Lodge 13 Auxiliary Members, Officers, Deputies and 911 Personnel who volunteered to shop with the kids.

December 2021
This year we were not able to take any kids shopping due to Covid restrictions. We purchased gift cards and distributed them to kids and families in need in place of our shopping program. We worked through school counselors and impacted 21 different elementary schools and bought gift cards in denominations of $50 & $100 from Target, Walmart and Kroger. These cards were distributed as needs were identified. Overall a total of 428 school children and families in need were provided gift cards. We also provided 30 $50 gift cards to the children at Calvary Children's Home.
Once again we owe a huge thank you to all of our sponsors and donors who make our children’s events possible. Every dollar donated helps. We also extend a special thanks to Leslie Newlander and her continued sponsorship of our shopping events.
