Each year, the Buena Park Police Department partners with a local Target store for “Heroes & Helpers.” This is a nationwide program, in which children in need are identified in the community. They are provided with funds to go on a Target shopping spree. Local law enforcement personnel escort the children through the store, shopping with them for both basic necessities and Christmas gifts. BPPD’s iteration this year took place on December 5.

It was another successful year of “Heroes & Helpers.”
