The West Covina Police Officers Association (WCPOA), in conjunction with the West Covina Police Department and the Target Store at The Heights will be hosting “Shop with a Cop” on Thursday, December 12, 2013. The WCPOA has selected 12 local children to take Christmas shopping at the Target store located at 2370 S. Azusa Avenue, West Covina. The event will start at 7:45 A.M.
The children were pre-selected based on their needs and challenges this Christmas season. Some of the children’s parents lost their jobs earlier in the year while others are struggling to make ends meet. Some of the requests on the children’s wish lists include soap, shampoo, toothbrush, school supplies, and warm clothing. Each child will be allowed to pick out clothing and toys amounting to $400.00. Target has agreed to pay the sales tax allowing the children to spend the entire $400.00. A West Covina Police Officer will be with each child as they shop, assisting the children with their selections and helping to make the child’s Christmas enjoyable. This year a Los Angeles County Probation Officer will be assisting one of the children as they shop as well. The selected children will also enjoy a surprise visit by Santa Claus who will be present during the event.
Red Robin of West Covina will host a luncheon for the children and the West Covina Police Officers immediately after the event.

- West Covina Police Association
