Shop With a Sheriff returns to Lake County
The Lake County Sheriff's Association will host its third annual special shopping event for children on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
Called "Shop With a Sheriff," the program benefits needy children by providing them an opportunity to shop for items such as winter coats and Christmas presents with a uniformed deputy, corrections officer, court security officer or reserve deputy.
The children who participate must be Beach Park or Winthrop Harbor residents and complete an application process that helps identify financial need. The final selections are determined by a social worker from the school district attended by the kids, and the number of children selected will be determined by total donations received.
Donations for the event should be mailed to Lake County Sheriff's Association, P.O. Box 42, Gurnee, IL 60031.
