Greensboro, NC – Families across Guilford County are being asked to help “fill the bus” this holiday season as the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office kicks off its annual Christmas toy drive, now underway through December 15.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies are collecting new and unwrapped toys for children of all ages, with all donated items going directly to local families in need across Greensboro, High Point, and surrounding communities. The agency announced the effort Wednesday morning, noting that the holiday drive remains one of its most impactful community outreach events each year.
Residents can drop off toys Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Sheriff’s Office headquarters, located at 400 W. Washington St. in Greensboro. Officials say the earlier donations come in, the better prepared deputies will be to distribute them in time for Christmas.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasized that every donation—big or small—helps ensure more children across Guilford County experience a joyful holiday. Community members are encouraged to consider board games, dolls, trucks, sports items, art kits, and other age-appropriate gifts. All items must remain unwrapped so they can be sorted and matched to families.
The annual drive typically results in busloads of gifts, allowing deputies and volunteers to make deliveries to community centers, shelters, and partner organizations throughout the county.
Residents who participate are invited to share what they plan to donate this year or how past holiday drives have helped their families.
