Unfortunately, not all Georgians are financially able to buy gifts for those they love. One of the many reasons we\u2019re proud to be a part of the Marietta and Cobb County community is that there are countless ways to give back to the community.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Jones &amp; Swanson is yet again sponsoring the Cops &amp; Kids Shopping event, which is hosted by the Cobb County Fraternal Order of Police Kermit Sanders Lodge #13. This is the 29<sup>th<\/sup> annual Christmas shopping event and is scheduled for Wednesday, December 14. Each year the program pairs more than 100 children with police officers to take them on shopping sprees at Target. The children are selected by local teachers and allowed to select items for themselves and their families. The gifts are then wrapped and delivered to their homes. Many times the children forego toys for clothing items, which is a true testament to the value of this program.<\/p>\n<p>We urge all who are able to give back to their community in some way \u2013 especially as the holidays draw nearer. The Cops &amp; Kids Shopping event is just one way to be active in your community. Here are a few others in the metro-Atlanta area:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doinggoodtogether.org\/bhf\/adopt-a-child-or-family\/\">Angel Tree<\/a> \u2013 adopt a child and\/or family for Christmas by selecting from an Angel Tree at a local mall. By selecting a low-income child from the tree, you commit to purchasing gifts for that child so that their Christmas is an enjoyable one. Locations include Town Center at Cobb, Cumberland, Northlake, Lenox, and Sugarloaf.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mustministries.org\/\">MUST Ministries Toy Shops<\/a> \u2013 assist parents to shop for clothing, blankets, school supplies, games, and other items for their children to enjoy at Christmas. Volunteers are needed for stocking supplies as well.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/calvarykids.org\/\">Calvary Children\u2019s Home<\/a> \u2013 the organization needs volunteers to assist in providing the children a good Christmas. Lists of what the kids want are available and the program accepts donations specifically for Christmas giving.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/safepath.org\">SafePath Adopt-A-Family Program<\/a> \u2013 families assisted by SafePath each year are provided holiday wishes and needs. By adopting a family, you\u2019re able to ensure that family enjoys the holiday season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cops &amp; Kids 29th Annual Christmas Shopping event is scheduled for December 14.
