Thanks to the generosity of some local law enforcement officers, Christmas will come early for about 15 area children this year in Mifflin and Juniata Counties. It’s all due to the second annual Mifflin-Juniata County Shop with a Cop event, that will take place at Walmart in Lewistown on Wednesday. The Pennsylvania State Police at Lewistown… along with local police departments and sheriff’s offices, are teaming up with the United Way of Mifflin-Juniata for the annual event that pairs children with police officers to do some holiday shopping for themselves and their families. Each child can spend up to $100 as officers spend time with the children, acting as their chaperone and companion. After the shopping is complete, the United Way will host a pizza party at the Fame EMS Ambulance building, in Lewistown.
