We are thrilled to announce that, once again, Willard’s Shop with a 1st Responder program will bring holiday cheer to children in our community! Thanks to a generous grant from Bass Pro Shops, 20 deserving Willard School District students, selected by the district’s chief counselor, will receive $100 gift cards for a special shopping experience with local heroes. 🚓🚒🚑
The program, led by the Willard Police Department in partnership with the Willard Fire Protection District and Mercy EMS, pairs each child with a first responder to shop for holiday gifts. Assistant Chief Shannon Shipley oversees this meaningful event, ensuring each child has a memorable and joyful experience during the season. 🎁✨
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Bass Pro Shops for their continued support of our community and to everyone involved in making this program possible. Stay tuned for updates and photos from this wonderful event!
Let’s celebrate the season of giving together! 💙
