Every year, the Manitowoc Police Department takes less fortunate children to local stores in an event called Shop with a Cop.
This year, they are aiming to adopt 25 families, with help from Big Brothers/Big Sisters Wisconsin Shoreline, however, this event is not cheap.
It is estimated that the average cost per family is around $150. The local law enforcement agency is asking the public to help by donating to the cause.
Those who wish to donate can drop off cash or checks at the Police Department, located at 910 Jay Street.
If paying by check, you are asked to make the checks out to “MPPA Shop with a Cop”.
