Greensburg, IN—It is that time of year where the Greensburg FOP Lodge #104 begins taking donations for our annual Shop-With-A-Cop fundraiser. Each year, they help between 75 and 100 local children buy clothing, hats, gloves, winter coats, shoes, and other items that their families are often unable to afford. With each new year, we find that more and more children in our community need help. To help expand the event and allow us to help more children, the FOP is expanding resources by partnering with other emergency service agencies in hopes of giving more children a holiday to remember.
The new event will be known as Santa’s Heroes. The heroes are members of local police, fire, communications and EMS agencies. They will be hosting a special event for all the children chosen for the program. The group’s goal is to have breakfast with Santa, books with the elves, crafts, games, and of course our annual shopping extravaganza at Walmart. In order to be able to provide a memorable experience and necessary clothing to the children chosen for the program, they need the help of the community. Through donations, that will be spent 100% back into our community, the goal is to to be able to help 150 children this year. Donations are tax-deductible and extremely appreciated.
Donations can be made in person to the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office Monday –Friday 8 am-4 pm, or via mail to:
