LEWIS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE PREPARING

FOR 16TH ANNUAL SHOP WITH A COP EVENT

The Sheriff's Office is preparing for our annual Shop with a Cop tradition. LCSO partners with United Way of Lewis County to find children in need of a positive experience with law enforcement, as well as those in need of financial assistance.

The program is open to children ages 8 - 18, who reside in Lewis County. Applications are available on the link below; from the United Way website at www.lewiscountyuw.com; their office at 450 NW Pacific Avenue, Chehalis; or by calling the United Way office at (360)748-8100.  Applications are also available at the front counter of the Sheriff's Office.

Counselors, neighbors, social workers, church leaders, parents, teachers, and other community members are encouraged to nominate children they feel would benefit from the program. The deadline to submit applications is November 22. Those selected to shop will be notified the week of December 4, and shopping will occur on December 14.

"Shop with a Cop is an event our employees look forward to every year. The excitement of the children shopping for their family members is amazing and contagious. It's a very positive experience for all involved," said Sheriff Snaza.

Shop with a Cop is funded through Sheriff's Office employee donations, public donations, and grants coordinated through the Sheriff's Office Association. Donations to sustain the program are greatly appreciated and can be sent to the Sheriff's Office Association at: LCSOA, 345 W. Main Street, Chehalis, WA 98532.
