Spotsylvania, VA – Families across Spotsylvania County and the greater Fredericksburg region are invited to take part in this year’s Operation Blue Christmas Toy Drive, which returns Saturday, Dec. 6, and Sunday, Dec. 7, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Walmart Southpoint store.
The annual event, hosted by the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office, collects new toys to support local children during the holiday season. According to the Sheriff’s Office, deputies will be on site both days accepting donations ranging from dolls and LEGO sets to sports balls, RC vehicles, arts-and-crafts supplies, puzzles, Play-Doh sets, toy cookware, and board games.
This year’s drive includes expanded online options for anyone unable to donate in person. According to the department’s announcement, residents can participate using the Blue Christmas Amazon Wishlist, allowing supporters to ship toys directly to the Sheriff’s Office for distribution. The agency emphasized that the extended online wishlist ensures that every child can be reached, even if donors cannot make it to the Walmart collection site.
The Sheriff’s Office noted that the goal is to help brighten the holidays for families in need throughout Spotsylvania County. “The children are our future — let’s give them a memory they’ll never forget,” the announcement said.
Community members are encouraged to stop by, donate, and share the event information to increase local impact.
