Shopping With Cops

Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 31 sponsored the annual Cops N Kids Christmas shopping spree at Walmart earlier this month for several qualifying area children. Law enforcement officers from all over the Rockbridge area escorted children through the store, allowing them to choose their own presents with FOP-sponsored donations. Among the scenes were Chris Wheeler, the SSO at Enderly Heights, assisting Laine Day (above) and Terry Martin with the Buena Vista Sheriff’s Office helping Joshua Hinkle. (Mary Woodson photos)
