The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office kicked off its annual “Stuff the Sheriff’s Sleigh” Toy Drive today, inviting residents across Fairfield County and the broader Midlands region to donate new, unwrapped toys to support local children this holiday season.
According to the Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office, donations will be accepted from November 10 through December 5 at the Sheriff’s Office headquarters, located at 250 N. Walnut St., Winnsboro, SC 29180. The department said every toy collected goes directly to families within the county who may otherwise struggle to provide holiday gifts for their children.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasized that community-driven programs like this one help ensure that no child in Fairfield County is left without a gift during the holiday season. Deputies noted that last year’s toy drive brought in hundreds of toys, and they hope to surpass that number in 2025 with broader participation from residents, local businesses, and civic organizations.
The department encouraged residents to consider donating early, as volunteers will begin sorting and organizing toys before distribution week. Popular donations typically include board games, dolls, sports equipment, stuffed animals, and educational toys.
Residents can drop off toys during normal business hours at the Sheriff’s Office lobby. No monetary donations are being accepted at this time; only new, unwrapped toys are requested.
Anyone with questions about the toy drive can contact the Sheriff’s Office directly for additional details.
