If you live in Pinal County Arizona you may be interested in the Annual Toy Drive that is co-ordinated by the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.The deadline to donate is Dec. 21.
Pinal County Sheriff's Office is accepting monetary and toy donations for children around the county. According to PCSO Community Resource Unit Sgt. Stormee Wallace, who has headed the PCSO Toy Drive the past two years, in 2006 the office raised $59,000 that serviced all of Pinal County and a total of 1,674 children. PCSO accepts monetary donations or new, unwrapped toys, clothes and shoes for its toy drive. Used toys are not accepted.
PCSO’s Victim Services Division works with families throughout the year and identifies families with children who are victims of crimes. Additionally, PCSO works closely with county school districts, which help determine candidates to benefit from the drive through their hot lunch program. School resource officers also help identify candidates. Any residents living in Pinal County Arizona wishing to apply for the toy drive can visit a local Salvation Army to complete an application. Donation inquiries go to Sgt. Wallace at 520-705-9545.

Bob & Carolyn, I hope people show up for this and contribute, how wonderful to light up a childs face for the holidays!
Wow, 1,674 children! When you put it in those terms, the need becomes so much more evident. Sometimes it's kinda hard to muster up one more donation for one more nameless stranger - but who can't picture a crowd of children... 1,674 of them, no less!
Great post. Thanks for sharing. Thank you for taking the time to post on my blog. Merry Christmas.
This is wonderful community service. That is a tremendous number of kids. I know there are some poor families in Mesa, and Apache Junction area that could certainly use the assistance. Lance
