Sevierville, TN – As cold weather and the holiday season approach, the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office has released its updated Community Resource Guide for November 2025, highlighting Christmas aid programs and local assistance for residents in need.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, multiple programs are now accepting sign-ups for families, seniors, and teens seeking holiday support. The guide includes details for Toys for Tots (for ages 1–12), the Teen Christmas Project (ages 13–17), and the Douglas Cherokee Santa Fund (for seniors 60+).
Sign-ups take place at King Family Library in Sevierville on Nov. 3 (1–5 p.m.), Nov. 8 (10 a.m.–1 p.m.), and Nov. 19 (1–5 p.m.). Distribution for the Toys for Tots program will be held on Dec. 13, while Teen Christmas Project items will be distributed on Dec. 12. Seniors can schedule phone appointments for the Santa Fund on Nov. 20.
Participants must bring a valid Tennessee ID, proof of Sevier County residence, and school or DHS verification forms as listed in the guide. Additional winter support will be available through Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries during their Winter Coat Drive, with sign-ups running Dec. 8–12 and distribution Dec. 19 and 22.
The Sheriff’s Office encourages residents to share these resources to help reach as many local families as possible during the holiday season.
