DPD’s Blue Santa Shop with a Cop
The Duluth Police Department’s annual Blue Santa Shop with a Cop event will be held on Monday, December 19 at 5 p.m. at Target on Miller Trunk Highway. Every year, the Duluth Police Department partners with multiple community outreach groups to help those in our community buy holiday gifts. This year, 30 families and children in our community will be shopping with members of the Duluth Police Department.
“Blue Santa is a great event for sworn and professional staff to come together and spread holiday cheer with members of our community,” said Chief Mike Ceynowa. “This event brings everyone together and hopefully takes the stress of the holiday season off families so they can enjoy the time with their loved ones.”
Irving Community Club graciously donated $10,000 and Target donated $2,500 to the Blue Santa Shop with a Cop event. A portion of the Irving Community Club’s donation will go toward 20 families to receive a $200 gift card to Super One to help purchase food over the holiday. Media is welcome to attend the event.
