Fraternal Order of Police hosts annual ‘Shop with a Cop’ at Meijer in Bowling Green

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Fraternal Order of Police hosted their annual Shop with a Cop at Meijer.

The FOP hosts this event annually, allowing local families the opportunity to get school supplies they need for the year.

It’s been going on for years, and Bowling Green president Mike Nade has been part of it for 20 of those years.

His favorite part is seeing how happy the kids are to get everything they need.

“We love seeing kids be happy. We love seeing them get the items they need because we all know it’s tough for kids. They can’t afford some of those things. So we didn’t want them to go to school and be ashamed of not being able to get those things. So anything they need, whether it be backpacks, clothes, pencils… we want to give them that stuff so they have the best opportunity they can to learn,” Nade says.

The Boys and Girls Club, who partners with the FOP for this event, are grateful for their support for kids in the area.
