For many years, we were blessed to have had an individual donate to the Sheriff’s office with the requirement of giving to those in need. Working through local advocates, families in need are suggested and then assisted by the generosity of this anonymous Santa.

His only stipulation was that no one was to know where the donations came from. He wanted those who were struggling to have a helping hand, especially during the holidays. He passed away several years ago and his angels have since carried on the tradition.

Today, we were presented with an abundance of food, toys, mittens and hats, as well as money for gift cards. Over the years, many families throughout the county have benefited from the kindness and benevolence of this family. We are very thankful to have people in our county that deeply care about others throughout the year.

The only stipulation is this selfless act is to be passed on to others down the road, when and if families can afford to do so.
