Members of the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Caledon Fire and Emergency Services are pleased to announce this year’s “Shop with a First Responder” (previous known as “Shop with a Cop”)!
The planning is underway for the 12th annual Shop with a First Responder event. Caledon Fire, the Town of Caledon, Caledon Community Services (The Exchange), and Caledon OPP have once again teamed up to offer the program on December 1, 2024. Each year it runs, several children from families experiencing financial difficulties or facing some type of a crisis in Caledon are identified to participate. Participants experience a morning of shopping, gifts, and food, while building positive relationships with local first responders.
The Shop with A First Responder event, supported by the Optimist Club of Caledon, entirely relies on community support and involvement to ensure its continued success and sustainability. All donations are used for expenses associated with the program such as the purchase of gifts, food, venue, supplies, and other giveaways.
Monetary donations can be directed to the Optimist Club of Caledon. For further instructions on how to donate, please contact Joe Brisebois at joe.brisebois@opp.ca.
