ALBION – The Walmart Foundation has given the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office a $5,000 grant to continue the “Shop with a Cop” program.

Walmart has funded the effort since 2019 in Orleans County. The Sheriff’s Office typically assists about a dozen kids in picking out presents for their family members. The cost of the presents is paid for with the grant.

The County Legislature on Tuesday approved accepting the grant from the Walmart Foundation with the funds to be spent by Dec. 31, 2025.
