[0:08] today is Shop with a hero here at [0:10] Lakeville Target and it is an [0:12] opportunity for our local First [0:14] Responders police and fire to shop with [0:17] school children so that they can bring [0:20] home gifts for their family for the [0:21] Christmas season we've been doing this [0:23] for a number of years and it's an event [0:25] that police and fire that we look [0:27] forward to it's something that we really [0:28] enjoy doing so they come in with the [0:30] list of like who they're shopping for [0:31] family members and such uh but their [0:34] name is always at the bottom of that [0:35] list so as we go through and shop and [0:37] you know pick out things for their [0:39] family members we kind of got to remind [0:41] them that this is also for them and then [0:42] pick that and help them pick out [0:44] whatever that gift is or they're like [0:46] well I don't want to do that I want to [0:48] buy something more for my mom or dad or [0:50] or whomever that family member is so [0:52] it's always a challenge to try to make [0:53] sure that this is not just uh about [0:56] their family but it's about them too so [0:58] it's cool to see that that selflessness [1:00] that they show that I'm here shopping [1:02] for another person besides myself they [1:04] don't want to talk much but as we go [1:06] through the store and shop and they [1:07] really open up and we start to kind of [1:09] hear a little bit of their story and [1:11] understand where they're from and and [1:12] the same goes the other way is that [1:13] we're telling them a little bit about us [1:15] and we're like I said we're developing [1:16] that relationship with them maybe just [1:18] for this time that they're here tonight [1:20] but hopefully it's something that's very [1:22] impactful and it changes their life or [1:24] provides them to maybe they want to [1:26] become a police officer or a firefighter [1:27] so it's something very cool that can [1:29] happen uh during the small little time [1:31] frame that we get for an interaction [1:33] with them and it's amazing the number of [1:36] businesses and individuals in this town [1:38] who support these Endeavors it's just [1:40] fantastic [1:42] [Music]
