Eight families from Berrien Springs, Benton Harbor, New Buffalo, and Niles are benefiting from this year’s Shop With A Cop outreach in Berrien County. The families, with a total of 22 kids, spent part of Saturday at the Niles Walmart with officers from the Berrien County Sheriff’s Office Reserve Unit and other agencies for the annual event. More than $6,000 in donations was secured by the Sheriff’s Office Reserve Unit. The families shopped for gifts for themselves, family members, and friends. The families were also taken to Michiana Christian Embassy in Niles after shopping to have snacks and wrap the gifts. Schools and civic organizations referred the families and their children to the Sheriff’s Office for the help.
