⚾️ An unforgettable day we had at Busch Stadium! 🏟️

A massive thank you to the St. Louis Cardinals and the CardinalsCare Player Ticket Program for inviting Jeffco Shop with a Cop out to the ballpark!

Our kids and first responders had the absolute best time being part of Burly’s Lil’ Biscuits crew. Getting to step onto the field, meet the players, snag some autographs, and experience the magic of a Cardinals game firsthand made for a truly special day that these kids won't ever forget.

We are so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to build these memories and connections within our community. Thank you for making us and local Jefferson County Children feel like part of the team!

🎄Thank You, Leader Publications🎄

We are incredibly grateful to Leader Publications for shining a light on the 2025 Jeffco Shop with a Cop program and the impact it has on our community. Thanks to your coverage, more people get to learn what this program is truly about — kids, compassion, and community coming together during the holidays.

This year, over 600 children across Jefferson County were treated to a Christmas shopping experience, each receiving a $150 gift card, a warm meal, and a day filled with smiles, Santa, the Grinch, and unforgettable memories. None of this would be possible without the dedication of our first responders, volunteers, donors, and community partners who make sure no child is left out on Christmas.

A special thank you to Kevin Carbery for the well-written article and Patty Meyer for providing the photo that captured the heart of the event.

We are proud of the more than 30 first responder agencies that participated and thankful for the continued support from our community. This program truly shows the power of people helping people. ❤️
