Shop with a Hero Project

Shop With a Hero Project

 Our Shop with a Hero event is each December

Every year on the second Saturday of December, through the collaboration of Wayne County Children Services and The Fraternal Order of Police, 100 children are matched with a hero to purchase items for themselves and their loved ones.

The children get treated to a breakfast and then are part of a motorcade of first responder vehicles with lights and sirens blazing to WalMart.

Who is eligible?

Any child receiving assistance from Wayne County Children Services Board whose family has a financial need or circumstantial hardship.

How can you help?

Donations of monetary contributions, gift cards and “filler gifts”

Volunteer to help wrap gifts
