Shop with a Hero small.m4v

With the economy at an all-time low and the needs in our community at an all-time high, people around the country are being moved with compassion and the desire to help others during this holiday season. Community organizations are gathering canned goods for local food pantries, schools are collecting winter coats for those without, and churches are seeking to bring love and light to those who may need it the most.
On December 5th, 2009, the Loganville Police Department, Walton County Sheriffs Department, Loganville Fire Department, Church at the Grove, and Wal-Mart will join together to meet a practical need in the lives of children in our community and bridge the gap of division often existing between children with needs and law enforcement personnel. Children who are considered to be at-risk based upon a school counselors evaluation will each be paired with a member of local law enforcement and given a $75 Wal-Mart gift card; they will have the opportunity to shop for Christmas gifts for themselves and for family members as they are escorted through the store. At the end of each childs shopping spree, snacks and gift- wrapping will be provided by volunteers set up in tents outside. This event will allow children who might not be able to experience the joys of Christmas to give and receive gifts this holiday season and to feel the love and compassion of a community that has united in order to demonstrate the true Spirit of Christmas!
