Newark children participate in Shop with a Cop
Christmas came early for 16 Newark families and 25 children at Walmart.
Each child received a $100 gift card and was partnered with a police officer who volunteered to shop with them. Walmart manager Pearl Miller donated winter jackets to each child participating in this year’s event.
In October, Officer Dan Weegar requested the Newark Police Department initiate “No Shave November and December,” where each participant agreed to donate $200 to help local families impacted by crime or tough times during the COVID pandemic. They raised $2,450 with help from donations by Joey’s Northside Grocery and Newark Public Library director Melissa Correia.
