community first

The Kearney Enrichment Council is proud to have been a part of this program since its inception. Every December, our members join forces with local law enforcement agencies to give dozens of children in our community a chance to enjoy the holidays. We take the kids shopping at local stores, where they can pick out gifts for themselves and their families. Shop with a Cop is a program done entirely on a volunteer basis by Officers of the Kearney Missouri Police Department and the Kearney Enrichment Council that collects donations and hosts fundraisers to foster positive relationships between youth in the Kearney School District and Officers of the Kearney Police Department.

How does it work?

Each year, counselors within the school district provide a list of kiddos in the district that are underprivileged or face other difficulties outside of their control. Contact is made with their parents/guardians and the date is coordinated for the selected kiddos and any other children in the home to go shopping with a Kearney Police Officer at Walmart in Liberty. Each kiddo is given the opportunity to shop for Christmas after their needs (coats, gloves, clothes, etc) are met. More often than not, the kids venture away from the toy/video game section that is expected with today's youth and start shopping in other areas of the store to buy gifts for friends, parents, and siblings. Currently, all funds raised are put directly toward shopping as all other supplies (wrapping paper, tape, bags, batteries, etc) are donated by Walmart.
