MAUMEE, Ohio A pandemic didn t stop the Maumee Police Department and Meijer from making sure northwest Ohio kids have something to open on Christmas morning. My mind was blown when I saw everything that I got, 8-year-old Ashlyn Johnston said.
Ashlyn and her twin brother were two of the kids shopping with a Maumee police officer at their side for the annual Shop with a Hero event.
She navigated the aisles, searching for Barbies, craft supplies and a toy for their cat; even Ashlyn s shopping pal, Officer Hoover, has a favorite part.
