Fredericksburg, VA – The holiday spirit arrives early this weekend as the Fredericksburg Sheriff’s Office hosts its annual Blue Christmas Toy Drive at the Walmart in Southpoint. The two-day community event takes place Saturday, November 8, and Sunday, November 9, from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.
According to event organizers, the drive supports families and children in need across the Fredericksburg area. Donors are encouraged to bring new, unwrapped toys including LEGO sets, dolls, action figures, sports balls, puzzles, Hot Wheels, and arts and crafts kits. All collected items will be distributed to local children ahead of the Christmas holiday.
The event, part of the Sheriff’s Office’s “Operation Blue Christmas,” aims to brighten the season for local families while strengthening ties between law enforcement and the community. Volunteers and deputies will be on-site to accept donations and thank participants throughout the weekend.
Organizers say even small contributions can make a big difference. “Every toy helps bring a smile to a child’s face this Christmas,” a representative noted.
Residents unable to attend can still support the initiative by dropping off donations at participating Sheriff’s Office locations through mid-November.
