The Rappahannock County Sheriff s Office, in conjunction with other county representatives, will select children whose families have little or no funds for the Christmas holidays. Once the participating children are selected, the parents are contacted for their approval and permission for their child to attend. The children will meet at the Sheriff’s Office where they will be paired with a uniformed officer who will assist the children with their purchases. The children will then be driven to K-Mart in Front Royal, where they can purchase a $100 worth of merchandise for themselves or their families. Necessary winter clothing always comes first!
Once the shopping is completed, the children will have an opportunity to eat breakfast with the officers and visit with Santa Claus. While the children are eating breakfast, volunteers wrap the presents that the children have selected. After breakfast and some entertainment, the children will receive their wrapped presents along with a food basket for each family.
This program has been an incredible success the last ten years, and we hope to make it even better this year. We are asking you, the private citizens and business owners, to help us by sponsoring a child. You can do so by sending a tax-deductible contribution to “Shop with a Deputy”. All contributions will go toward the enrichment of our Rappahannock County children’s lives.
