February 4, 2023Las Cruces Chapter Makes Significant Donation for “Cops and Kids” Christmas Shopping Event
Las Cruces Chapter #20 once again this year made a significant monetary donation to the Las Cruces Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 8 for the “Cops and Kids” Christmas Shopping event held at the local Walmart. The check was presented by Worthy Matron Jeanette Austin and Secretary Tenna Kay Bradshaw.
Trish Keefer-Higdon went to Walmart to check out the event. Santa was there, as well as many, many City Officers, Sheriff’s Deputies, State Officers, and Military/ROTC personnel. There were multiple cars/vans parked outside with lights flashing to welcome all to the event.
Each family shopped with an officer and received $100, $25 to be spent on toys and the remainder on clothing. The families were able to check out at assigned registers. After shopping, the children had cookies, milk, and candy canes.
Trish was impressed with both the FOP and Walmart and thankful for the opportunity to be a very small part of this event. Apparently, Trish’s red cowboy hat made quite the impression on some of the children!
Thank you, Las Cruces #20, for giving back to your community!
