Nodaway County First Responder Foundation

Nodaway County First Responder Foundation Our ultimate goal is to provide a better, happier holiday season for local children while also easing the ever-growing financial burden on families.

The Nodaway County First Responder Foundation, formerly Santa Cops for Kids, is a Nodaway County (MO) based non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of local underprivileged youth through various charitable acts. Santa Cops for Kids, founded in 2013, is a partnership between multiple Nodaway County law enforcement agencies geared toward brightening the holiday experience of area children-in-nee

d. Every year, law enforcement officers dedicate countless hours to fundraising efforts, including the Santa Cops for Kids - Putting for Presents Golf Tournament, which helps fund the program's year-end shopping event. During the event, uniformed law enforcement officers escort area children Christmas shopping, purchasing a plethora of items in the process - everything from toys and clothing to various food related products. Agencies involved in our year-round efforts include: Maryville Department of Public Safety, the Nodaway County Sheriff's Office, the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Northwest Missouri State University Police Department.

We're EXTREMELY fortunate to have the assistance of our local Maryville Elks at the year-end shopping event. If you want the honest truth, there isn't enough of us (law enforcement) locally to make the event happen on our own - not with as many kiddos participating as we've had the past half decade.

Want to support that cause? Sign up for this year's Putting for Presents Golf Tournament - we're less than a week away!

Nodaway County may be its own little island, but the Santa Cops for Kids program is making a splash. Sure the shopping event is big, but that doesn't include the $2K in donations the program provided to parents of children with medical conditions that required on-going treatment. It also doesn't include the donations made to two local schools to open food pantries within their buildings. It's really hard to put a value on this program, folks.

Interested in supporting the cause? You can do your part to keep the program afloat by participating in this year's Putting for Presents Golf Tournament. We're just over a week away from this year's shindig, so if you're keen to help, we'd love to have you along!

It's hard to put a size on the impact this little program has throughout the Nodaway County community. You'd think it'd be a one-and-done event during the holidays, but it's so much more than that. Seeing the physical and emotional reactions of participating families is utterly priceless.
