The holiday season is here in The Gateway City. It’s also a time of giving with the “Shop with a Cop and Friends” program here in Henderson. Law Enforcement partnered with the Chamber of Commerce and the Vance County Department of Social Services for “Shop with a Cop and Friends.”
$16,000 was raised for the “Shop with a Cop and Friends” fundraiser. Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce President Sandra Wilkerson presented the police department with the check. The money is aimed at helping out children and families in need this holiday season.
This year’s “Shop with a Cop and Friends” event, will take place at Walmart on December 20, 2024, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Officers from the Henderson Police Department and the Vance County Sheriff’s Office will be there during the event.
