Paris, Tenn.–Thanks to the FOP Tennessee Kentucky Lake Lodge 17, some 240 underprivileged children were treated to the annual Cops and Kids annual Christmas shopping trip Saturday.

Each child was allowed to spend $75 on Christmas presents. When the children returned to Paris Elementary, they received a bag with fruit, breakfast item and other goodies.
FOP Vice President and Retired Chief Deputy Randy Gean said, “Thank you Paris and Henry County for all your support. Your generosity made it possible for over 200 children to have a better Christmas. What a great giving community we have.”
