Moore County Crime Stoppers has a passion for our community. Five years ago, an idea was brought to us that would change young lives forever. That idea was Shop with a Cop. This event takes place every year in December and serves anywhere from 50-80 kids each year.
Shop with a cop started here in 2018 when an officer himself reached out and suggested a program like this start. Since then, the event has grown tremendously.
Every year, each elementary school nurse/counselor picks 10 kids that they believe is in need of some extra Christmas spirit. The schools involved are all elementary schools in Dumas ISD, Sunray, and Hartley County elementary schools. That equals 80 students. Those parents are notified by the nurse or counselor for the date. That day the child is given a gift card ranging from $50-$100 depending how much money was raised that year. A first responder will then take that child shopping at Walmart to spend their money on toys.
Every year we learn that there is a bigger need than we thought. Every year we learn of a different need for these children. One year a child wanted to buy a pillow and blanket because they needed it. That is why we provide everything we do. That is where every organization involved comes into play. We found organizations to supply pillows, blankets, food, jackets, socks, and so much more.
