Shop with a cop program

Members of the Hot Springs High School Class of '69 "Posse" donated numerous toys to the Garland County Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge #26, for their annual Christmas Baskets.

The F.O.P. Lodge #26 adopts numerous families each year for Christmas and provides them with food, clothing items and toys for the entire family.

This year, through a fundraiser and the generous donations of Garland County citizens, Lodge #26 has been able to adopt 12 families to feed and approximately 65 children, most from a local children's home, will be "Shopping With a Cop".

The "Shop With a Cop" program will have each child paired up with a Deputy at Wal-Mart. The children will have approximately $100 each to spend on whatever they would like for Christmas. The only stipulation, they must buy one gift for someone other than themselves.

This program has been a huge success in other areas and, with the generous donations the F.O.P. received, looks to be a success here as well.

If you would like to donate to the Garland County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #26 Christmas efforts, you may contact Mike Wright at 501-622-3695.
