Last night, we hosted our 5th Annual Shop with a Cop Gala at the beautiful Banks Waterfront Venue, and we’re still feeling so grateful for the incredible people who filled the room with laughter, generosity, and so much love for our community.

This event is our largest fundraiser of the year for our Shop with a Cop Holiday Program, and it means the world to us to see our community come together year after year to make the holidays a little brighter for local children and families. Your continued support is what makes this all possible, and we truly couldn’t do it without you.

We have so many people to thank! To our generous sponsors, our hardworking committee, everyone who donated an auction item, contributed financially, or sponsored a child, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. A special thank-you to The Refinery for the wonderful meal, Petals for the beautiful fall centerpieces, and Banks Waterfront Venue and their incredible staff for providing the perfect setting for such a special evening. We’re also so grateful to our police officers, first responders, and council members who showed up in force to support this important mission.

We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did! We’re already looking forward to December 5th, when we’ll welcome more than 200 children and their families to downtown Pittston for our Shop with a Cop Holiday Event. Because of this community, we get to make a real difference in the lives of so many families, and that is something worth celebrating.

Thank you for showing up, giving back, and reminding us what community is all about!
