FOP President Chris McKeand and Jessica Waugh of Pak-A-Sak.

Continuing a yearly tradition, Pak-A-Sak/Marathon Food Marts of Warsaw have once again provided a large donation toward the purchase of clothing and gifts for local families in need of assistance this holiday season.

Kosciusko County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #149 has annually conducted the Christmas with a Cop program that occurs in December and involves law enforcement officers from throughout the county. The Christmas with a Cop program allows children of struggling households the opportunity to receive Christmas gifts for themselves and their families.

Kosciusko County FOP president Chris McKeand was present Thursday afternoon to accept the donation for the program from U.S. 30 Pak-A-Sak/Marathon Food Mart Manager Jessica Waugh.
