The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is excited to support Shop with a Cop this holiday season. Flagler Sheriff’s Children’s Charities, a tax-deductible 501(C)(3) charity established by Sheriff Staly in 2020, will be hosting its Shop with a Cop event to provide holiday gifts to children in the Flagler County community who would otherwise not have a holiday.
Shop with a Cop is part of the mission of the Flagler Sheriff’s Children’s Charities organization and is sponsored and supported by the FCSO. The goal of Shop with a Cop is to help children and families that are in need due to economic circumstances, domestic violence, or children that have been placed in the care of guardians so they may have some holiday cheer. Children are selected to participate in the event by nominations from FCSO employees and Flagler Schools staff.
Shop with a Cop is scheduled for Dec. 10, at Walmart in Palm Coast. The event kicks off with law enforcement and detention deputies picking up the children at their homes and going to the City Centre building, home of the Chiumento law offices, in Town Center. The event will begin at 5 p.m. with games and activities for children and at 6 p.m., children and deputies will travel to Walmart, escorted by the FCSO Motors Unit with lights and sirens. Each participating child will receive a gift card where they will have the opportunity to shop for themselves and family members.
“Shop with a Cop is a great way to give back to the community and really reinforce the positive relationship between children and law enforcement,” Sheriff Rick Staly said. “We are proud of starting our own charity that is operated by the Sheriff’s Office and supported by our community, our employees and Walmart. Thank you to those that have already donated, and I encourage members of our community to support Flagler Sheriff’s Children’s Charities by making a tax-deductible donation. I am looking forward to seeing the children’s eyes light up, which is really what the holidays are all about.”
