The holiday season in Sioux Falls got a whole lot greener — and a little more mischievous — when The Siouxville Grinch joined the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office for their annual Shop with a Deputy program.
Shop with a Deputy is one of the most heartwarming community traditions in the Siouxland area. Each year, local law enforcement officers partner with children in need, taking them on a holiday shopping spree to pick out gifts for themselves and their families. The goal is simple: build bridges between kids and officers, and make sure every child gets to experience the magic of Christmas.
The Grinch Joins the Fun
This year, The Siouxville Grinch was on hand to bring an extra layer of cheer, laughs, and — naturally — a little mischief. From sneaking into shopping carts to giving his signature grumpy commentary on gift choices, the Grinch was a massive hit with the kids and deputies alike.
Watching those little faces light up when they spotted a 6-foot-something green holiday villain in the toy aisle? That's the kind of moment that reminds even the Grinch why the holiday season matters.
A Partnership Built on Community
The Siouxville Grinch is proud to support events like Shop with a Deputy — programs that do real, meaningful work for kids in our community. Thank you to the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office for the invitation and for everything you do year-round for the people of Sioux Falls.
💚 The heart grows three sizes when you give back.
