On October 1, the elders at SunPorch of Smith County — Coffee with Cops! Officers from our local police department stopped by for some hot coffee, heartfelt conversation, and plenty of smiles. 

It was a beautiful morning filled with laughter, storytelling, and mutual respect. Our elders loved sharing their wisdom, and the officers brought a comforting presence and genuine interest in their lives. 

Thank you to our community heroes for spending time with us — you made our day!
