Know a Kid Who Deserves a Shopping Spree?

Give a deserving child a shopping spree this holiday season, courtesy of the Roseville Police Department and local organizations. If you know of a deserving Roseville student who works hard in school and stays out of trouble, you can nominate him or her to “Shop with a Cop.”

Each month, Roseville students are selected to go on a shopping spree with a Roseville Police officer for new clothes and shoes. The program, which is a community effort among the Roseville Police Department, Roseville Police Activities League and local businesses and organizations, is designed to build a better relationship among police officers, community organizations and students.

Roseville students between the ages of 5 and 18 are eligible. Students will be selected based on their need and his or her commitment to stay in school and avoid a gang or criminal lifestyle. The next shopping trip is set for Dec. 10.

Event sponsors include Target, the Tommy Apostolos Fund, Rotary Club of Roseville and the Roseville Police Activities League. Information on becoming a sponsor is available here.
