Centennial, CO – Families across Arapahoe County will have a chance to receive some extra holiday support this season as the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office launches its annual Christmas toy drive, now underway through Thursday, December 19.
According to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, deputies are collecting new, unwrapped toys and gift cards to benefit local children experiencing homelessness, financial hardship, abuse, neglect, or placement in foster care. The sheriff’s office is partnering with Arapahoe County Human Services to ensure the gifts reach families most in need across Centennial, Littleton, Aurora, and surrounding communities.
Donations can be dropped off at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, located at 13101 E. Broncos Parkway in Centennial. Lobby hours run Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The agency noted that a large, black donation box will be positioned in the lobby to accept contributions throughout the collection window.
Deputies plan to personally distribute the donated toys and gift cards to families just before Christmas, aiming to provide both holiday cheer and relief for households facing financial strain. The sheriff’s office emphasized that even small contributions can significantly brighten the season for children who might otherwise go without.
Community members are encouraged to participate early, as organizers anticipate heavy turnout during the final week leading up to the December 19 deadline. More information, including donation guidelines and program details, is available at the link provided by the sheriff’s office.
Residents who have previously taken part in the annual drive say it offers a direct, meaningful way to support neighbors during the holidays. This year’s organizers hope to surpass past donation levels as demand for assistance continues to rise across the county.
