FROM SHERIFF TO SANTA ........................
Date Posted:2/22/07

Sheriff Young loads a bicycle and other items that were donated to local families for Christmas.
The traditional red and white Santa suit did not visit many kids and families around Gadsden County, but Santa did arrive wearing the green and white of the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Young, volunteers from the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office and community volunteers came together to deliver Christmas presents to those who were in need. Sheriff Young and volunteers spent their days leading up to Christmas delivering presents that were donated by the Sheriff's Office employees, the community and community programs to those who may have otherwise not had such a Merry Christmas. Bikes, helmets, toys and non-perishable items were delivered throughout Gadsden County beginning December 21st up until Christmas Eve. Several loads of items were organized by number and loaded onto Gadsden County Sheriff's Office Trailers by volunteers and inmates for delivery throughout Gadsden County.
Over two hundred bikes and helmets were given away that were donated to the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office along with countless other toys and food. Sheriff Young states, "This is what Christmas is all about, giving and sharing with those in the community who are less fortunate than others. To see the smiles that were being put on people faces made me realize that there is more to Christmas than just spending it with my family or receiving gifts. It's all about showing love and compassion." Sheriff Young would like to send a special thank you to all of the businesses, citizens, volunteers and employees who gave donations and their time to this community effort.
