One of our Fountain Woods students, Shane McLaughlin, is in need of our support and help. A Give Forward account has been set up by the co-workers of Shane's mother, Kelly, to assist the family with Shane's medical bills. Shane was born with anorectal malformations (ARMs), which is a permanent condition. Shane is an incredible little boy with a smile that can light up a room. Shane is currently on homebound instruction, as he is medically unable to attend school. This fundraiser has been set up with hopes of raising money to help keep the medical supplies coming in. The family pays close to $900.00 out of pocket monthly for medical necessities. They continue to wait for his Social Security benefits to come through. Please consider helping Shane.

"Coffee with a Cop"

 Dec. 19, 4p-6p at
7-Eleven 
1613 Columbus Rd.

Coffee with a Cop provides a unique opportunity for community members to ask questions and learn more about the department's work in Burlington Township's neighborhoods. 

The majority of contacts law enforcement has with the public happen during emergencies, or emotional situations. Those situations are not always the most effective times for relationship building with the community, and some community members may feel that officers are unapproachable on the street. Coffee with a Cop breaks down barriers and allows for a relaxed, one-on-one interaction. 

"We hope that community members will feel comfortable to ask questions, bring concerns, or simply get to know our officers," said Sgt. Richard Sullivan. "These interactions are the foundation of community partnerships."
