Sumter, SC – A beloved Sumter County holiday tradition returns this week as the Sheriff’s Office hosts its 18th Annual Thanksgiving Bar-B-Cue Fundraiser benefiting Toys for Tots.
According to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, the event will take place Wednesday, Nov. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Sheriff’s Office Training Center, located at 1273 North Main Street in Sumter. Each $10 plate includes chicken, two sides, bread, and dessert.
All proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to Toys for Tots, the national Marine Corps–backed program that provides Christmas gifts to children in need. Organizers say community support has been strong in past years, with residents lining up early to grab a plate while contributing to a worthy cause.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at Jackson-Hewitt, 61 W Wesmark Blvd. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early, as plates often sell out before the end of the event.
With the holiday season approaching, officials hope this fundraiser will once again help bring joy to local families while fostering community spirit.
