• Tell you a little bit about Shop With A Cop: Casper, Evansville, Midwest, Mills Police departments as well as Natrona County Sheriff dept, Wyoming Game & Fish, and Wyoming Highway Patrol:

• Shop With A Cop is a community outreach program designed to foster positive relationships between law enforcement officers and children, particularly those from low-income families or those who have experienced trauma. The program typically occurs during the holiday season, allowing children to shop for gifts with the assistance of police officers.

• Positive Interaction: The program aims to change children's perceptions of law enforcement by providing a friendly and supportive environment.
• Community Engagement: Officers engage with families, helping to build trust and understanding between the police and the community.

• Financial Assistance: Children are often given a budget to spend on gifts, which helps alleviate some financial burdens for families during the holiday season.
• Emotional Support: The program offers emotional support to children who may have had negative experiences with law enforcement.

• Shopping Events: Officers accompany children to local stores, where they can choose gifts for themselves and their families.
• Community Involvement: The program is funded through donations and community support, often involving local businesses and organizations.

Shop With A Cop not only provides gifts but also creates lasting memories and positive experiences for children and their families.

• Benefactors from the Advance Auto Parts Car Show are preselected.     Food A Palooza & Car Show have  chosen Natrona County Shop With A Cop to benefit from the 2026 Food A Palooza & Car Show.

• In years past, we've help Pop In The Shop (twice), True Care Womens Resource Center (once), Casper Midget Football (once) and Girl Scouts of Natrona County (three times) 

• If you notice a certain pattern here, then you have caught on to a little insight as to who the Food A Palooza & Car Show committee  chooses to benefit. You'll notice, those that have benefited the last eight years (including the past, Wyoming Hot Dog Eating Championship & Car Shows) have a close tie in with children. 

•  In the Bible there are many places that state the protection and positive growth of children. If we can help with a organization monetarily, that is for the children's positive growth, That, is a big factor.
