Charlotte, NC – The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office has officially opened registration for its annual “Shop With a Sheriff” program, inviting families across the county to sign up for the holiday giving event.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, the event pairs deputies with local children for a festive day of holiday shopping, bringing joy and support to families experiencing financial hardship this season. The department says its goal is to “spread joy and lend a helping hand” to residents who could use a little extra cheer this year.
Families selected for the program will have an opportunity to shop for holiday gifts, meet local law enforcement officers, and participate in community activities designed to create lasting positive connections.
Colorful decorations, toys, and volunteers in Santa hats filled the Sheriff’s Office lobby as staff prepared for the program’s kickoff. Photos shared by the department show deputies helping families carry gift bags and sort through donated items.
Community members are encouraged to register soon, as spots for the event typically fill quickly. Registration details are available through the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page.
