Local police officers will donate their time to help a group of local elementary school-aged kids shop for Christmas presents for themselves and their families at a special event during the second week of December.
The second annual Shop With a Cop event is scheduled to take place at the Woodland Walmart Supercenter at 9 a.m. Dec. 8.
Woodland Police Chief Rob Stephenson said he expects officers from Kalama, Woodland, Ridgefield and La Center to take part in the event.
Kids participating in the program are chosen from a list provided by their schools.
The Walmart Foundation has provided a grant of $3,500 and other donors to the event include General Mills.
