Description
We partnered with the Lomita Sheriff's Station in 2015. Since then, they’ve been doing Random Acts of Kindness in memory of fallen officers during the holiday season.
The deputies pass out the gift cards we give them when they do traffic stops or through routine encounters with the public. The recipients are asked to pay it forward hoping to create ripple effect that will continue to expand.
Police officers usually interact with people under negative circumstances and tragedies. We wanted to change that, and this program is GREAT way to develop positive interactions between law enforcement and local residents.
