One Good Thing: 'Shop with a Hero'

It's always nice when we can recognize our first responders when they do something nice. Other than the dangerous jobs for which we're all grateful on a daily basis. Today, is one of those days

It's always nice when we can recognize our first responders when they do something nice. Other than the dangerous jobs for which we're all grateful on a daily basis. Today, is one of those days.

On Tuesday, the Fruitport Township Police and Fruitport Fire Departments went to the local Meijer for this year's "Shop with a Hero" event. The public school system selected some families to receive gift cards from Meijer. Then, a child and their 'hero' went shopping. They got something for each member of their family... then got to choose something for themselves. And, Boy Scout Troop 11-27 handled all the gift wrapping. Again, this is an annual event that helps a lot of families in the area have a Merry Christmas!

Lots of groups to recognize here. Fruitport Township Police, Fruitport Fire, Meijer, Boy Scout Troop 11-27 and more. One Good Thing to you all for making "Shop with a Hero" a success.
