To help fund these important programs, Lodge 5-30 relies on the support and generosity of the community. When your phone rings this year - remember all the good that comes from your donation or you can donate to the FOP here!

The American Heart Association, the Police Athletic League, Sickle Cell Disease Foundation and the Spina Bifida Association make up the FOP Panel of Select Charities. Each of the organizations receive an annual donation which comes from funds collected through officers payroll deduction.

In addition to the officer's payroll deduction campaign, last year alone the Lodge contributed over $96,000 to local law enforcement programs and over $26,000 to community causes.

President Nelson Cuba (in the photo to the left) presents checks to the FOP Panel of Select Charities and announces a new program - Shop with a FOP COP which teams a deserving child with an FOP member for a holiday shopping spree. The kids range in age from 1st grade through 12th grade and are selected as a reward for good grades and behavior.
