sponsors.
Police officers were able to take 28 children from the Sartell area shopping at Walmart. Sartell Police Chief Jim Hughes says the program helps build police-community relations and helps build trust between kids and police.

The presents were paid for with a grant from the Sartell Walmart and a donation from Bernick’s Pepsi.
