(First Responders giving kids a Christmas)…Most of the kids would not otherwise have a Christmas.

El Centro will hold their Shop With A Cop Saturday. Calexico held their event, called Kids ‘Badges. It was held last Saturday. 32 kids were paired with a first responder, police officer, fire fighter or other. The kids, all children from the Calexico School District, were allotted $100 and taken on a shopping spree at the Calexico Wall Mart. The kids were treated to a meal and a visit from Santa Claus.
