"COPS & KIDS" HOLIDAY SHOPPING PROGRAM

The Munster Police Department and Munster Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #147 hold their annual "Cops & Kids" holiday shopping program each year.  Through this program, pre-selected children in need are taken shopping by police officers for toys or clothing with funds that have been donated by local residents, businesses, and community service organizations.  Since 2005, this program has assisted several thousand local children thanks to the generosity of others.

For the past few years, the Munster Police Department has partnered with the Munster Junior Woman's Club on the event.  Their organization generously provides monetary donations and assistance with greeting or shopping with the participants at the event each year.  Our event would not be successful without their hard work and support each year.
