The Washington County Sheriff’s Office has partnered with the community and local business to try to spread joy to local children who’s families need a little extra help this holiday season.

The “Shop with a Sheriff” event is the culmination of this effort. Each year the Sheriff’s Office works with local resources to identify children to go shopping with a deputy so that the child may purchase clothing, toys, and even gifts for family members! The joys of giving and receiving are bestowed upon a child and family.

Last evening, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office held its annual “Shop with a Sheriff” program. Twelve children from Washington County were treated to an evening of shopping, food and fun…Santa even made an appearance.

The Sheriff’s Office sends its heartfelt gratitude to the Hagerstown Target Store, Lisa Teach and Associates, The SALT Council of Washington County and the many others who donated towards this years event. Without your support it would not have been possible. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
