Record Attendance Set for Meijer and Lexington Police’s “Shop with a Hero”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ)- Over 200 Fayette County kids made some new friends this weekend, the men and women of the Lexington Police Department. The department teamed up with Meijer to offer those kids gift cards for their annual “Shop with a Hero” event.

Kids were paired with officers who helped them shop for holiday presents for themselves and their families. This year, the shopping trip saw a record turn out. The goal is to bring some holiday joy for underpriveleged kids while building their relationships with police officers.
