Tip-A-Cop to Be Held September 22nd at Helen’s Restaurant in Ellsworth

There will be a whole lot of serving and very little protecting as members of the Ellsworth Police Department and surrounding agencies join together for a Tip-A-Cop event at Helen's Restaurant in Ellsworth on Monday, September 22nd from 5 to 7 p.m.

Tip-A-Cop is when members of law enforcement join the servers to bring you, your meal! They'll be assisting in taking your order, bringing you water and other drinks, help serving your food, and clearing your place. They'll help with dessert orders and may even serve you and bring you coffee.

All the proceeds will go to the Maine Special Olympics. You are encouraged to tip the cop, but don't forget your regular servers too!

We'll be down there to take some photos!

The last time this was held, in June of 2024, thanks to your generosity, a little under $2800 was collected in just under 2 hours.
