The Orange County Sheriff’s Department continues its longstanding tradition of supporting Operation Santa Claus and Senior Santa & Friends – the county’s partnership programs that provide Christmas gifts to the county’s “neediest of the needy.”
This year, charitable donations down across the nation, but OCSD employees responded beyond expectations. Sheriff’s Department employee donations alone brightened Christmas morning for more than 5,000 infants, toddlers, children, teens, and seniors.
Sheriff’s Department employees have led the way in donating to this countywide campaign for many years. Their determination to share holiday joy has earned them gratitude and respect. As always, the need is not just for children’s gifts. This year, gifts were particularly needed for teens, seniors, and toddlers.
