Meet your local heroes! We believe that trust starts with connection. Heroes & Hugs is a chance for kids (and anyone really) to see the caring, human side of first responders--so when they need help, they won't be afraid to ask.
Everyone is invited to meet our area law enforcement, EMTs, and firefighters.
- Give high-fives (or hugs!) to real-life heroes.
- Snap a photo with an officer in uniform.
- See cool gear and emergency vehicles up close.
- Enjoy a store full of smiles, surprises & good vibes.
- Get FREE money to shop with that night.
Part of Poopsie's mission is to build a kinder, safer world--one smile at a time. So we love hosting these events.
Be sure to mark your calendar for our Heroes & Hugs for the Holidays Event on Tuesday, December 1st from 4:30 - 6PM.
