As in years past, the program is a way for local agencies to donate and deliver holiday gifts to children in need. The program was started in 1988 by Sheriff Elmer Litchfield and has helped thousands of children each year.

Toys will be delivered by the participating agencies beginning next week until all deliveries are made.  If applicants do not receive delivery by Monday, December 21, 2009, they should check with either the EBRSO substation in which their application was filed, or the City Constable’s Office.
