Shop with a cop set for Sunday
Just like most nonprofits, the holiday charity known as Shop With A Cop is facing tough challenges this year.
As of Wednesday, 126 children were scheduled to go on shopping sprees this weekend with law enforcement officers, according to Alicia Monroe, coordinator of the Volunteer Action Center. That is a slight decrease from last year, she said.
Sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge #89, Shop With A Cop begins at 12:30 p.m. Sunday inside the west side Walmart, 2025 Merchant Mile.
All participants will be required to wear masks, as well as comply with any other regulations or precautions the store management requests, lodge president Alan Trisler said.

LAWRENCE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Van Buren County authorities are continuing their search for a Parchment man who went missing in the Village of Lawrence in early October.
Sheriff Daniel E. Abbott says 45-year-old Jimmy Green was visiting friends in Lawrence on Blackman Street October 7, 2020. The friends report he had been helping pick up sticks in the yard and walked away without saying a word. Neighbors last saw Green walking west bound from Blackman Street on St. Joseph Street in Lawrence at around 4:30 p.m.
At around 5:00 p.m. that day Green asked to borrow a phone and called his family from a home at the corner of East James Street and Elizabeth Street in Lawrence.
