Uniformed officers from the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, Broward Sheriff’s Office and other local law enforcement agencies were paired with 150 youth, ages 13 to 18, served by Handy (Helping Advance and Nurture the Development of Youth) for a unique shopping experience designed to foster positive relationships while helping students prepare for the new school year. They shopped at TJ Maxx and Marshalls in Coral Ridge Mall with a $100 TJ Maxx gift card from Handy to purchase back-to-school essentials and also received a backpack filled with school supplies to help them start the school year with confidence.
