(WEAU) - A restaurant is raising money to help kids get gifts this Christmas.
All day Tuesday, 100% of the sales at Altoona Family Restaurant will be donated to the "Shop with a Cop" program. The program has local law enforcement officers go Christmas shopping with less fortunate children, with the donated money going towards the children’s presents.
The program was such a success in Chippewa that the owner decided to do it at the Altoona Restaurant as well.
