Monongalia County Kids 'Shop With A Cop'

Posted: Updated:

The Walmart at the University Town Centre in Granville hosted "Shop With A Cop" Wednesday evening.

Businesses in the Star City and Granville areas donated enough money to make Christmas dreams come true for about 85 kids. Each child received $100 to spend and shopped with a cop.

Trooper Meredith of the West Virginia State Police said this gives them a chance to spend some time with the kids and encourage them.

"It's just a chance for we, as law enforcement, to get out with the kids and spread the holiday cheer and give them a chance to pick out some presents," said Trooper Meredith.

Trooper Meredith said some of the favorite items were antigravity jump boots for the boys and baby dolls for the girls.
