COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Nearly two dozen youngsters took part in Branch County’s annual Shop with a Cop holiday event on Wednesday night.
This year’s event was sponsored by the Lakeland Correctional Facility Employee Club and Walmart. It was organized by the Branch County Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.
As you could tell from the number of emergency vehicles outside of the Coldwater Walmart which had their lights flashing on Wednesday night, many Branch County police, fire and rescue agencies get involved in the yearly event and Sheriff John Pollack says they look forward to this.
Kim Hemker from the Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence says the youngsters taking part have already been through a lot.
After dinner, the youngsters went to Walmart where they were escorted by a officer and a parent as they purchased a gift for themselves, one for their family and one for Toys for Tots.
