Shop with a Cop is the largest program Lodge #154 sponsors. Through the efforts of generous community donors, the lodge sponsors over 40 local children in need to shop for Christmas. Each child is paired with a local officer to purchase needed items and then also gifts for Christmas.

At the March 2024 meeting, the Lodge Board proposed a new incentive program for members attending monthly lodge meetings. Members who attend 8 meetings in a year will be given a FOP mug. Members will be able to keep their mug at the Lodge to utilize during meetings or Lodge events. 12 members earned mugs for their attendance at meetings in 2024!

Lodge #154 Secretary Jim Engmark was recognized at the CIT First Responder of the Year by Indiana CIT and National Alliance of Mental Health Indiana. The CIT program was founded in 2021 and has trained over 250 officers since 2022. Congratulations!

Lodge #154 was excited to participate in the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics once again! The Lodge donates and sponsors a team to raise money for Special Olympics. We are appreciative of Secretary Engmark for his hard work towards this event.
