In the spirit of Christmas, the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office and the Allegany County Deputy Sheriff’s Association will once again be conducting the Santa Shay Toy Drive at various locations starting November 28, 2025.
We will be collecting new toys (in their box, valued between $10–$20) from drop boxes located around Allegany County. Gift cards (please write the amount on the card), wrapping paper, and supplies are also welcome.
Toy Collection Ends: December 15, 2025
Last-Minute Donations: East Wind Nursery until December 17, 5 PM
Donations will be sorted and wrapped by Sheriff’s Office employees and community volunteers. Santa Claus will deliver toys and stockings to deserving children on Friday, December 19th.
THANK YOU! Seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child is priceless!
