Each year tens thousands of new toys are donated by employees of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department to kids and families in need during the holidays. Members of the business community have joined us in our efforts, including Securitas Security Services who delivered a truckload of new toys to deputies this week.

The public is invited to join us in this great way to share the joy of this holiday season, by helping to make the holidays brighter for tens of thousands of children in need.

The new toys are given to children who attend schools adopted by the local sheriff's stations, and to the children of members of the United States Armed Forces serving our country overseas.

The toys need to be new and unwrapped, with a value of at least $10.00, appropriate for children between the ages of one to sixteen. They can be left in any of the gift-wrapped bins located in the lobby of every patrol station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week.

We ask that donations be made prior to Saturday, December 17th so we can definitely get them to the kids in time, but we will gladly accept toys right up to Christmas Eve, Dec. 24th.

Over the past two years, thanks to the generosity of many people, the Sheriff’s Department has collected nearly 70,000 toys, all given away to kids in need. Join us in providing special memories to these kids during this special time of year.
