The partnership between Wal-Mart Corporation and local police departments helps children in need.

The event started with a breakfast with Santa and several other fun activities.  The children then boarded a bus and traveled to the local Walmart with police officers from the participating agencies. Once at the Walmart, each child was given a gift certificate that allowed them the opportunity to purchase presents.  During the experience the police officers assisted the children with their selections.
