Cops and Kids Auction December 9th 7 p.m. @ The 859 Tap Room

Florence Lodge 33 Fraternal Order of Police is happy to announce we will once again have our Cops and Kids Auction on December 9th at The 859 Taproom and Grill (8720 Bankers Street, Florence KY). This annual event helps us raise money for our Cops and Kids event which is also in December.

Cops and Kids is our annual event where officers take underprivileged children from our area shopping for Christmas gifts. Lodge 33 partners with several local businesses including Meijer, Chick-Fil-A Mall Road and Dave and Busters for a fun filled day of shopping and food and fun. Our annual auction helps us raise enough money to make Cops and Kids happen.

Interested in donating items for auction? Email ethan.manley@florencefop33.org

Please help us spead the word by sharing this event with your family and friends. See you December 9th!

Cops & Kids 2020

12/22/20 – COVID-19 did not keep Florence FOP 33 members from our annual Cops and Kids festivities, though they looked quite a bit different this year. Lodge 33 members, with the assistance of the Family Resource Centers at each public elementary school in Florence, identified families in need of some additional Christmas help and gathered shopping lists for the families. Our members then shopped in small groups, without the kids present this year to keep everyone safe and healthy. The gifts were wrapped with care before being delivered to the families homes with several mini police parades.

Along with the gifts provided by a very generous donation from Meijer in Florence, breakfast biscuits compliments of Chick-Fil-A Mall Road in Florence were also handed out. We would also like to thank the NKY Keepsake Collectors Club for their generous donation in support of the event. We extend our sincerest thanks to these organizations for their continued support of the Florence Police Department and the Fraternal Order of Police.
