☕👮 Coffee with a Cop at the PATH Center! 💙

Today, we had the pleasure of hosting Coffee with a Cop at NOCAC's PATH Center!

We were excited to welcome members of our local law enforcement and the Mayor of Defiance for an opportunity to come together over coffee, conversation, and connection! ☕🤝

Events like these are about more than just sharing a cup of coffee. They're about breaking down barriers, building trust, strengthening community relationships, and creating opportunities for meaningful conversations.

A special thank you to our local law enforcement officers and Mayor for taking the time to visit the PATH Center, engage with our guests, and show their support for our community.

💙 Building a stronger community starts with connection—and sometimes, all it takes is a cup of coffee!
