Local Youth and MoCo Police On Target for Day of Shopping (PHOTOS)

Montgomery County Police partnered with Target at their store in Rockville Saturday for a Heroes & Helpers shopping event benefitting in-need youth to help buy holiday gifts for their families.

This is the third year MCP and Target have teamed up to help build strong community relations.

The Heroes & Helpers program helps to foster strong community relationships by pairing public safety officials with in-need youth to shop for the children’s families during the holidays. During the event, MCP police officers will be paired with a child as they shop for holiday gifts for their families. The gifts will be purchased with gift cards donated by Target through the Heroes & Helpers program.

Take a look at some tweets from the event.
