Lynnwood: Families shop with cops
Christmas came early last week for several low-income families, thanks to a program organized by the Lynnwood Police Department.
Through Shop With a Cop, Lynnwood police officers helped 22 local mothers and 29 children pick out gifts for the holiday season. The mothers are members of Pathways for Women YWCA.
Funding for the event was provided by donations from Target and other area businesses. A former Edmonds School District employee raised thousands of dollars for the event by holding a large garage sale.
