Over the years, “Shop With a Cop” is the kick off to the true meaning of the holiday season. The “Shop with a Cop” program is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization consisting of members of the St. Mary’s County Optimist Clubs and the St. Mary’s County Fraternal Order of Police. Last year, 100 children were chosen to participate based on police officer and St. Mary’s County Public and Private School nominations. Each child is given a certain amount of money which can be used to purchase gifts for themselves or loved ones.
This program is completely volunteer-based. All donations are welcome and are tax-deductible.
