GREENWOOD - The Greenwood Police Department says this weekend’s Christmas, Cops, and Kids event was a success. According to the department, police officers were able to shop for 31 deserving children who may not have had a fruitful holiday otherwise.
“What a great success. Thanks to the officers for volunteering their time, Christy and the Walmart staff for their help, and to all those that donated and participated in our fundraisers for this event.” the Department said.
The Police Department took applications through the month of November, and selected children and families based on information provided. Officers with the department then escorted the selected children through the Greenwood Wal-Mart store on Saturday, allowing them to pick gifts.
