Students receive school supplies through ‘Shop with a Cop’ event

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The annual Shop with a Cop event was held at Meijer Wednesday night.

Forty students and their parents received $100 to buy back-to-school supplies ahead of the new school year. This was all made possible by the Fraternal Order of Police through fundraising throughout the year specifically to give back to the community.

“It’s a great feeling to be able to get into the community and help out the community. It’s one of those things that, you know, we’re lucky enough to fundraise and get some money that we then turn around and put right back into the community,” FOP president Robert Perry said.
