Six selected youth from Novi went on a shopping extravaganza with Novi Public Safety Team on Wednesday, Aug. 11.

The annual event took place at Kohl’s located in West Oaks, which provided a generous 20% discount to each of our shoppers. All of the shoppers left Kohl’s with shopping bags full of new apparel. Novi Youth Assistance’s Back to School Shopping program helps students get excited and prepared for the upcoming school year.

A special thank you to our Novi Public Safety Team volunteers: Lieutenant Kulikowski, Sergeant Meier, Officer Moulik, Officer McGee, Caption Seog, FF Copeland, FF Barratt, FF Marken, FF Takla, and FF Porter.
