Donations sought for Othello Shop With a Cop
OTHELLO — The Othello Police Department is looking for monetary donations to help bring a little Christmas cheer to some Othello children. Donations for the department’s Shop With a Cop program can be dropped off at the OPD office, 500 E. Main St.. People who can’t make it to the office can call 509-488-3314 to make arrangements to donate. Othello Police Chief Phil Schenck said Shop With a Cop 2022 got a boost from Adams County Fire District 5, whose cooks won about $2,000 in the Chili Cook-Off at the Othello Fair in September. The prize money is donated to a charity of the winner’s choice.
