Ionia County kids shop with a hero


The Ionia Meijer resembled the North Pole for 18 area children Thursday as they roamed the aisles accompanied by local law enforcement officers and emergency services personnel. Even Santa Claus was there to lend a hand.

The youngsters were selected by their schools in Belding, Ionia and Portland to participate in Shop with a Hero, an event organized by the Ionia County Sheriff’s Office in partnership with Meijer, which donated a $100 gift card to each child, who used it to purchase gifts for family members and themselves.
