It’s that time of year again…the Essex County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be packing groceries for their annual Essex County Cop Camp fundraiser.

This is one of the biggest fundraisers for Cop Camp, an annual event where approximately 80 grade 6 students attend Gesstwood Camp in Essex for a week of leadership and fun with the police.

The camp costs nothing for the campers who are selected to attend, and all money collected during the Grocery Packing fundraiser goes directly towards the cost of running the camp.

This year, officers will be packing groceries on Thursday, April 2, 2026, at Kingsville Zehrs and Tecumseh Zehrs from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.

If you attend any of the locations and donate, you can fill out a ballot for a chance to win a gift basket.

All donations are greatly appreciated by Essex County OPP and the Essex County cOPPs for Charity committee.
