FOREST COUNTY, Pa. (EYT) — Forest County Sheriff Robert L. Wolfgang announced yesterday that his office will be conducting its 4th Annual “Shop with a Cop” program this holiday season.

‘Shop with a Cop’ pairs underprivileged children with law enforcement from various area agencies, providing the kids with money to shop for Christmas presents like clothing and toys.

“Local families experiencing economic hardships can’t always provide their children with their own celebration of Christmas,” said Wolfgang.

Children will be picked up at a designated location and transported to Clarion Walmart where they will begin their shopping experience.

Each child will be given a $100 shopping allowance.

After shopping, the group will meet for dinner with the children.

A specific date for the event will be released soon.

The program is a non-profit charitable endeavor sponsored by the Forest County Sheriff’s Office.

If you are interested in donating to the “Shop with a Cop” program, please send your monetary donation in the form of a check or money order to:

Forest county Sheriff’s Office
526 Elm Street, Box 9
Tionesta, PA 16353
814-755-3541

Checks should be made payable to “Forest County Sheriff’s Office/Special Programs” with a notation of “Shop with a Cop” in the memo line.
