We're back for the annual Shop with a Cop holiday event!  Deserving families will receive a $100 gift card to Target -- that's right, the kids go shopping for whatever they want.  

Santa needs helpers (read: volunteers!) to help out with this year's Shop with a Cop at the Bridgewater Target on Dec. 8th.  What does Santa need help with?  You name it -- go shopping with a child and a police officer to keep things moving and to help keep a tally, help move toys along at the registers, guide families during the event, man the family registration table, battle in a dance-off with the Grinch? (I don't know what you're into)  Volunteers who register early will get a shnazzy Santa's Helper t-shirt.  Feel free to dress up in your craziest holiday outfit!  Can't make it the entire time?  No problemo -- we appreciate any time that you can offer.

Who:  Can I volunteer?  If you're over 18 and not an actual, bonafide, degree-holding grinch, SURE!  

When:  Friday, December 8th from 4pm - 8pm.

Where:  Bridgewater Target.

How:  Click the red register button to resigner as a volunteer.  We'll use this to be able to get in touch with volunteers and to better organize our Santa's Helper Army.  You'll be able to designate your availability during registration.

What: -- Read everything else on this page and feel free to reach out with questions.  This is a fun event for all involved!
