SHOP WITH A COP DONATIONS

A donation box will be set up in the gym on Sunday, July 13^th for donations to the Back to School “Shop with a Cop” program sponsored by the Frank G. Clement Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #38.  This program unites underprivileged children from Crossville and Cumberland County with local law enforcement officers. The officers take these children to a local store where they shop for clothing, shoes, and school supplies for each child. In addition to providing necessities for these children, the Back to School Shop with a Cop program is a great opportunity for local law enforcement officers to bond with at-risk children in our community.  If you would like to make a contribution to this program, please place your donation in the blue box at the front desk.  Checks can be made out to Grace Community Church with “Shop with a Cop” in the memo.  For more information contact Teresa Breeding.
