It’s almost time to ‘Shop with a Cop’
Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office

Office: 540-675-5300 Shop with a Cop Christmas Program
The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office will be sponsoring our Twenty Sixth “Shop with a Cop” program this Christmas season for some of the county’s most needy citizens. The date for this year’s program will be December 11, 2021. With the holiday season upon us, it is our goal to make Christmas a very special time for children who would miss out on some holiday fun due to circumstances beyond the family’s financial control.
Your 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 up with a uniformed law enforcement officer, or other representative who will assist the children with their purchases. The children will then be driven to Walmart where they can purchase a $125.00 worth of merchandise for themselves or their families.
Once the shopping is completed, the children will have an opportunity to eat breakfast at Rappahannock Elementary School with the officers and visit with Santa Claus. While the children eat breakfast, volunteers wrap the presents the children selected. The parents will return to Rappahannock County Elementary School to pick up the children, their wrapped presents and a food basket for each family.
This program has been an incredible success in the past, and we hope to continue this success and keeping this program alive. We are asking you, the private citizens and business owners, to help us by sponsoring a child. All contributions will go toward the enrichment of our Rappahannock County children’s lives. This is a tax-deductible contribution.
The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office is very excited about this project. With your help and support we know this program will continue to be an annual event that is a huge success.
Thank you for your support of the Rappahannock Sheriff’s office and our youth programs.
