Christmas Village
Each December, in partnership with many community organizations, we host our annual Christmas Village—a heartwarming event designed to bring holiday cheer to families in need. Thanks to generous donations of toys, services, and time, we transform the space into a festive village filled with games, cookie decorating, crafts, haircuts, food, and a special visit from Santa. While children enjoy the fun, parents and guardians secretly shop in Santa’s Workshop for gifts, which are wrapped and tucked away to be opened on Christmas morning. Each year, this event helps bring joy to more than 500 children and their families—and to the Sheriff’s Office members who volunteer to make it happen.
